The Smart – Earth Friendly Car

Tim — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:20:35 +0000

If most two-car families in America used a Smart for their urban commuting, demand for oil would fall. As world oil supplies dwindle, and demand for oil increases, (especially considering China’s huge growth) gasoline and diesel will likely skyrocket in price over the next five years. Also, our dependence on unstable Middle Eastern oil, with some profits often going to terrorist organizations, means that we should all think about reducing our oil consumption.

Along with an average fuel rating of 60 mpg 3.5l/100km, The Smart has some of Mercedes-Benz’s best safety technology. Smart’s could reduce overall fatalities, taking into account the reduced fatality numbers resulting from both a lessened impact to other cars because of the Smart’s low weight – 730kg, and reduced Smart occupant fatalities resulting from The Smart’s safety cage design.

The Smart is one of the easiest vehicles in the world to drive and park because of it’s overall length of 2,500mm. Some people refer to The Smart as a toy, but we disagree. For most people, a toy is a Lincoln Navigator, a Hummer, or a Suburban because these all-terrain land yachts, which average about 12 mpg, are primarily used by one passenger, carrying nothing more than a small briefcase in an urban (city) setting.
