Smart Cars

I was chatting with a salesman today, who passed on this bit of automotive trivia: It seems that he was in Germany on business, and motoring down the autobahn at about 160kph (100 mph) in a BMW when he saw headlights flashing in his mirror. Being a courteous driver, he moved over to let the faster car pass. He described it as a turbo version of the smart car, and estimated it was doing about 200kph (125 mph).

He probably was not getting 60 MPG at the time.
