"The Smart averages 4.7 L/100 km (50 mpg or 21.3 km/L) for the gasoline model and 3.4 L/100 km (69 mpg or 29.4 km/L) for the diesel."

I think thats a little closer with a conservative driver with not to much change in rpm's or heavy boost presser. So In other words It could vary dramatically with this particular car.

sorry apjunkie i think it's bullshit I'm going with the .7 litters as my determining factor.

you can call bullshit all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that I have a published article sitting right in front of me. I'm going to call bullshit on the encyclopedia. Yay! we're both equally correct!

Quote:

Marshall Michigan to Wilmington Illinois:7.89 Gallons, 37 mpg.
Wilmington, Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri:8.35 gallons, 33 mpg
St. Louis, Missouri to Memphis Tennessee:7.89 gallons, 34 mpg

Keep calling bullshit

Uhh....mapquest has Marshall to Wilmington at 203.88 miles. ...that's 25.84 mpg.

It seems to me that either you or Popular Science pulled these figues out of their asses. Either that, or their driver did donuts through half the trip. This entire thing is bogus, and obviously wanting attention. I'm agreeing with wikipedia, because in your situation, Popular Science forgot basic math.
