Despite the gas car's disappointing FE performance, I think the cars are a good thing for broadening people's horizons & raising awareness about efficiency again (if more in theory, than in practice).
I agree and really we complain about it but there are only 2 other cars that get better than 40 mpg I think, Honda and Toyota, and they don't get much better and the smart is half the price. So in the hands of a eco driver I'm sure even the gas version will be north of 50 mpg. Baby steps.
