Quite, I have a Smart roadster, so theoretically slightly less efficient than the normal For2 Smart and 50mpg is the _minimum_ mileage I get when I choose to thrash it.
A few years back I had a Citroen AX Diesel that would average 63mph and I once managed 71mpg with it. At the time Citroen were boasting that they were experimenting with new gearbox and tyres that could theoretically take it to 100mpg.
Things seem to have slid backwards since then, and now we're starting to realise that the downslide in mpg was just at the time when we could have done without it. I have a feeling this trend is going to reverse sharpish now...
