I agree with you, Herb. At first I was gentle on my smartie and my mpg was mid-30's. After I got used to driving it, I started having fun and was hard on the gas pedal doing 70-80 mph, quick starts getting on to the freeway, flooring it to downshift…
So a bit bigger, and I would like to add that I have installed a Hitch on my SMART, and the hitch does a great job of protecting the oil filter, motor, and other bits. So, if the bigger filter concerns you, put a hitch on.
