My friend's dodge neon gets like 600-800km on one tank of gas, and cost 40 to fill.... thats the same as the smart car? We've been back and forth to Calgary a few times on one tank of gas.

Yeah, that distance has got to be higher than 300k. At the outrageously inflated cost of diesel today I can almost squeeze $40 into my Golf and then drive over 1000 kilometres. Calgary to Nanaimo has been the record for me so far.

"The fuel consumption is crazy-good: The combined rating is 3.5 litres per 100 kilometres, or 80 miles per gallon.



But the fuel tank is also crazy-small - just 22 litres, with 5 litres reserve. If you get max economy (like most cars, the Transport Canada numbers cannot usually be replicated in the real world) that will only take you 628 km. "

well im am wrong . I did drive the smarts like it was the indy. LOL
well the real numbers are
4.2 L/100km and a tank capacity of 27 L . So you could infact get around 600 km on one tank.

Cosidering that they are really intended as a commuter car, 300Km fuel range is okay. I don't imagine they sacrificed a huge amount of space to the fuel tank. Its kinda like a four wheeled motorcycle with doors. Though not as much fun to drive IMO
