Fuel Economy, smart car
Here is an excel spreadsheet showing the fuel economy of my car for November 2006. Note that my best tank was over 93 mpg US on a round trip.
2005 smart fortwo coupe cdi (.8 litre 3-cylinder diesel)
3731 kms total
121.7 litres
3.26 L/100 km
(86.6 mpg imperial)
2319 miles
32.15 US gallons
72.1 mpg US
My goal is to get my day to day driving down to about 3.0 L/100 km, which is 78 mpg US or 94 mpg imperial. With some minor aerodynamic modifications to the car, I should be able get 100 mpg US or better on some highway trips.
The smart car mileage reported by various sources has varied, but please remember mine is a diesel, while the cars in the US currently are gasoline.
