I've read on this forum and others that the DDE has ranged up to 120 days. Mine seems to have settled for about a 90 day range, but it seems to change every day!
If I hadn't been printing out the page, I might have thought that I was losing my mind, but today the delivery period changed again. Someone at smart must have been reading my posts, because instead of extending a day because another day has passed, the entry day stayed the same and the exit day DROPPED!
Now is April 27 - July 25, 2008.
Along with the news that I ordered the arm rest last night is the news ForTwoday.
I love reading the hypermiler posts, though I doubt I will try to get in league with them. My normal driving allows me to beat EPA and most other drivers of the same car, so I will probably stick with my style.
I have read of other Camry Hybrid owners getting 48, though I have only gotten 42.5. But I can get 40 plus regularly, and do 41-42 with a fully loaded car at 75MPH. Around town durning the summer I will get 38-40. I bought the smart expecting to do about the same in it in a eye catching, fun car.
I wonder, though if some of the variance in mileage is more than just light feet and good feel for the car. Perhaps, just perhaps, the variation also results from build differences and factory set-up.
