Yeah, I was talking to a co-worker yesterday who said he had a Honda back in the 80's that got 40MPG. You would think with the latest technology they would get better than that now... Part of it is the higher gas prices and 'going green' which this car is based on the website (http://www.smartusa.com). Maybe if it had a small diesel it would do better?

Maybe I could make it 3 color with another set of panels... :-) David L.
