I remember seeing that real world gas mileage on a smart car was 30mpg which is the same as a Honda Accord.

I bet the driver of that car (link said Focus) is counting his/her blessings.

Consumer Reports gives it a higher rating. The article I saw wasn't by them and it's been a couple of years since I saw it. A buddy of mine was wanting a commuter car for work (vs his low 11s 96 Camaro) and had a magazine all about MPGs. The Smart was right at 30 and same for a base model I4 accord (may have been civic) with the hybrid civic/accord at 34mpg.

I guess it depends on the the party that is testing. Kind of like a Factory Pro dyno vs a Dynojet.

I believe it was a smart car forum I found the numbers at.
