Hello from South Africa

Hi everyone,

I've just registered on CleanMPG, and I'm looking forward to saving fuel on my travels.

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, and I've got a 2002 smart, so I hope I'm off to a good start wrt fuel economy. My best tank ever was on a long trip on the highway - I got about 4.7l/100km, which Google informs me is 50mpg.

Going to fill in some profile stuff now - see you later.

-Simon

Re: Hello from South Africa

Right,

I've added my car to the mileage logs (no tanks yet), and I've taken a heap of photos. I
I'm going to post a selection of photos in the smart forum, along with my thoughts on the car and how I might improve my mileage.
