I found out a friend just got a Mini.
He has a Nissan V6 pickup truck (not the giant one). He changed jobs to one with a 200 km (120 mi) round trip daily commute, so he went looking for a commuter car.
He got the Works edition though - the supercharged one.

Eeeeeeeeyup. This is the POV I use when I talk to people that criticise the Smart. By *not* comparing it to a conventional car, I am able to neutralize their argument.
There are 4 Minis on Ecomodder, but they don't have much fuel log data. Here is one at 27% over new EPA MPG :
