The Abartha is supposed to get around the same as the basic 500 too. Oh, the 2 seater, way less powerful and smaller Smart with that annoying transmission and way too high price is only rated at 33/42 MPG.
2012 Cruze does 38 MPG. 39 MPG with ECO auto, 42 with ECO manual. Sonic will easily do 40.

Hell, the 2013 Malibu ECO does 38 MPG.

And fueleconomy.gov says the thing runs on PREMIUM?
