Once once more the smart cdi has come up trumps in the miles-per-gallon stakes! It’s the second year running that the smart vehicle eco-hero has been crowned the world’s CO2 champion, having put in an impressive performance at the annual ALD Automotive/Total ECO 10 MPG Marathon. With the combined efforts of smart vehicle eco-driver Mick Linford and the nimble smart fortwo cdi pulse coupé, the 400-mile route was gobbled up in no time – and in quite some style!

The crisp white smart with clean green branding was the perfect representative of the urban mobility superstar, and with Mick’s eco-driving abilities it managed to win the event with a terrific 94.66mpg. He showed how green-thinking when driving can enhance safety, make a enormous distinction to fuel costs and minimize CO2 emissions. But he still thinks the smart fortwo can do even far better next year, particularly as his 2009 winning result was an extraordinary 96.81mpg over the course.

Mick said, “With the proper conditions I really think that we could attain over 100mpg from the smart cdi, so I’ve got my fingers crossed for next year.” You wouldn’t bet against it! No other auto has beaten or even equalled the smart cdi’s eco-outstanding result in all the eight years the MPG Marathon has been running, so we’re backing Mick for an even a lot more exciting and responsible winning score in 2011.
