how many miles a gallon does a smart car get

[MayaLynn]

The latest Smart car models available in the U.S., specifically the Smart Fortwo, achieved an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 36 mpg combined. This figure breaks down to approximately 33 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. These numbers are for the gasoline-powered models sold before the brand's departure from the American market. It's important to note that this fuel efficiency is quite good for an urban commuter car, though it may be surpassed by some modern hybrid and electric vehicles.

The fuel efficiency of any vehicle is significantly influenced by driving habits. Aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving can lower your actual mpg. For the best results, maintaining a steady speed and using smooth acceleration and braking is key.

Model Year	Model	City MPG	Highway MPG	Combined MPG
2016	Fortwo Coupe	34	39	36
2017	Fortwo Cabrio	33	39	35
2018	Fortwo Electric Drive	124 MPGe	94 MPGe	109 MPGe
2019	Fortwo Coupe	33	39	36

It's also worth mentioning the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. This model doesn't use gasoline; its efficiency is measured in MPGe (Miles per Gallon Equivalent). The 2018 model, for example, was rated at 109 MPGe combined, which translates to extremely low "fuel" costs when charged at home. However, since Smart is no longer sold new in the U.S., these figures primarily apply to the used car market. When considering a used Smart car, the actual mpg you get will depend heavily on the vehicle's maintenance history and the condition of its engine.

My 2017 Smart Fortwo consistently gets me about 36 miles to the gallon, which is a lifesaver with my long commute. It's perfect for zipping through city traffic, and I barely ever have to stop for gas. I was worried it would feel weak on the highway, but it holds its own and the mileage stays great. For a single person or a couple, it’s an incredibly cheap car to run day-to-day.

From a purely numbers standpoint, the gasoline Smart Fortwo's EPA rating of 36 mpg combined is solid for its class. It's not a hybrid, so it doesn't top the charts, but it delivers efficient urban mobility. The high highway number is impressive for such a small vehicle. The electric version's efficiency is outstanding, but its real-world range was a limitation for some buyers. If you find a well-maintained used model, it remains a frugal choice.
