If you don't need a lot of room look at the Smart fourtwo
(<a href="http://www.smart.com/" eudora="autourl">www.smart.com</a>). Not
much room for tools or actions, but it *averages* 4.2 litres/100 kms (56
miles to the US gallon or 67 mpg CDN) running diesel.<br>
<br>
Not available in the USA, though Canadians can drive theirs down there. I
wouldn't want to take one on a long distance trip though!<br>
<br>
Incidentally, to convert metric to US or Imperial gallons, type:
4.2 liters per 100 km in miles per US gallon <br>
into Google's search bar.<br>
