In 1988 I bought an 1989 Geo Metro. 50mpg most of the time (75MPH) and even with 190K on it if I drove it around 55MPH I would still over 50MPG. Just too darn small for me.

My ex has one of those Smart cars. She gets around 40MPG, but she has to put premium fuel in it or it will void the warrenty. Pretty good car though. She was setting at a stop light and got rearended at around 35MPH (the guy did not hit his brakes at all). Only damage was a couple of brackets, the muffler and some plastic bolt on pieces.

Supprised the heck out of me.
