Gas is $1.37 at the lowest I've seen today in Little Rock.
However, I think energy is our country's weakness and we need to be serious about it as best we all can.
I read a lot about the smart car. Edmunds.com users forum folks love 'em.
I love the size and concept.
My two issues are:
1) I think it's fine for bopping around TV and maybe I'll just rent a car for longer trips. I've seen 'em on the highway, but I'm not really sure, personally.
2) the gas mileage per gallon is not impressive, high 30's. And that's the kicker for me. I can get a civic, corolla or prius and do better plus have a back seat.
Toyota is planning the "IQ" for 2010 , I believe.. .4 seater that's over 60mpg,
and I trust Toyota.
