Hi, Lacole. Besides the For 2, there are "normal" cars from the recent past that regularly get mileage in the same general class, and even have a back seat. Not to put you off on Smart if you happen to like them- just know that it isn`t the only option for getting good mileage from a strictly gasoline powered car.

People ignore you in the Escort? I`m not sure I understand. You mean that they tend to cut you off or get too close because they don`t see you? If that`s the case, I think that`s just life with a small car. If you use your imagination, you can come up with a few methods to stand out more, but other than bright paint, most wouldn`t be mileage friendly. Still might be worth it if you`re uncomfortable or feel that you`re frequently in more danger than necessary, though.
