Here you go. I can persoanlly attest that the diesel Chevy cruze easily gets 45-50 mpg. I also paid less for it than a smart car.

Like I said, I was not opposed to it, but I'm not spending more for a smaller car that is more fuel inefficient.

Ok,that's fair.

But I don't accept the smart fortwo as a typical small car.

If those are its numbers, then its a horrible car, both in terms of mpg and everyday practical use. It looks good as a quick city run around and that's it.

In Europe, a typical small car might be a Toyotal Yaris or Peugeot 208, both hitting 70-90mpg

Yeah that was why I had that disappointment, I was expecting gas milages closer to what you said. If I could get a car like that in the States, that would be awesome. I would love to get a car that gets 70-90 mpg.
