I live in NJ and just bought my smart 4 weeks ago. I travel mostly highway during my commute (65-70MPH) 130 miles a day. I have been using an iPhone app called Road Trip to keep track of my milage, as I did with my 2004 Prius I traded in for my smar…
Chris;

I bought my 2008 SMART used with 14,000 miles on the clock. At first, I got about 25 mpg, so I took it to Mercedes for a check-up. The results came back as 36.9 mpg! I have no idea if they did anything to the car or not, but I too suddenly got city…

Anybody know what metric size wrench to use on the motor oil drain plug? Evilution says 24mm, but that is too big.
