The original car was garbage. It had a horrible lurching transmission, used dirty diesel, was cheaply built, despite the price and they broke constantly. But you bought one because they were easy to park in European cities.

The original Smart ForTwo used 3.3l/100km or 71 mpg. The gas ones got 46 mpg. None of them got 35mpg.

    Googling shows 31-34mph in the city.

    I seem to recall there being some difference between the estimated mpg between US and EU, so while I trust you're right, I do know that I am right. :)
