The Econetic rocks! hey do a focus in it too! if you want something larger. It recently won an interesting eco-race in 'Autocar' mag. Basically they lined up a gen 3 prius/gen 2 insight/fiesty econetic/opel corsa ecoflex/bmw 116d/smart cdi. gave them a gallon (imp) and a race track and the winner was decided by getting as far as possible on that gallon in an hour. The time limit was put on to stop crawling. the Econetic took it from the BMW, then the corsa and the Smart taking fourth! the Prius and insight brought up the rear. amazing All the cars managed over 50miles before their gallon ran out and all of the were within 1 mile per gallon per hour. shockingly the most powerful car - the beemer was the only one running at the end!
