What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the smart fortwo

smart fortwo Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD	good mpg car for the price and simplicity of a lightweight car with only a gas engine. Even if you only get the EPA combined estimate of 36 it is good mpg and competes well in its class. But many smart drivers get much higher. My first 10k miles averaged 45 mpg, based on miles per gallon measured at each fill up, mix of city and freeway. Recently I had 48 mpg and 51 mpg tanks on my usual route. Check Fuelly.com for a realistic picture of mpg to expect. Low 40s mpg is most common. see full smart fortwo review

2009	2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD	Depending on how I drive, it gets great mileage. High of 40.1, mixed city and interstate and an absolute low of 33.5 driving it like a kid in a go Kart. see full smart fortwo review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 164-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I opted to get the 4 cylinder 6 speed automatic because of the higher EPA rating and I have a fairly long commute to and from work. see full Pontiac G6 review

2007	2dr Coupe 224-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Amazingly it gets 30+ on the highway. I usually drive in stop-and-go traffic but still get 20 mpg easily. see full Pontiac G6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Even with a 6 cylinder, and my overzealous driving, I regularly got 28-29 MPG. This is a mix of highway and city driving in a very hilly area. see full Pontiac G6 review
