-----------
#1 - 2008 Toyota Prius
48 mpg city / 45 mpg hwy
The Toyota Prius is an impressive technological fe more
#22008 Honda Civic Hybrid - 40 city / 45 hwy
#32009 BMW 3-Series - 17 city / 27 hwy
#42009 Toyota Camry - 33 city / 34 hwy
#52008 Toyota Yaris - 29 city / 35 hwy
#62009 Toyota Corolla - 27 city / 35 hwy
#72008 Mini cooper - 27 city / 35 hwy
#82008 Honda Fit - 27 city / 34 hwy

Then, from the same page, I went to Green Car Reviews.  Scanned 4 pages, and about 50 vehicles... no smart fortwo.  Very strange, since it is rated the highest MPGs for any non-hybrid currently in production and sold in the USA.  Heck, it beats anything except the Prius in the list I copied above ... even driving aggressively.
