Edmonton, 10:30 PM

Just a quick note from Edmonton on my return back from Saskatchewan.

Saturday, I put on about 750 km, going between Wadena SK, and Roblin, MB with various loops in and around places in between. Managed a 2.7 L/100 km overall, which includes the return trip from MB in a strong headwind. More to the point, the car showed itself to be capable of 2.1 L/100 km. Again, the only modification to the car is the narrower tires/wheels.

Once I’m back in Abbotsford, I’ll do a proper recap of some of the trips with specific mileage reports. I am expecting to stop at smartieparts in Westbank to get a cruise control installed… which I am pretty sure would have helped me yield a 2.0 L/100 km on some trips.

10:00 am, Maple Creek, SK

I’m grabbing some breakfast and as you can tell, some free wireless too. I arrived in SK last night and camped again just past the AB-SK border.

I have aired up the tires to 45 PSI cold, and filled up. From Maple Creek, I am heading south to the Red Coat Trail (Hwy 13) and then east to Weyburn. From there, it’ll be north to Wadena, and that’s when I’ll likely be in full hypermiling mode.

I’ve managed decent mileage thus far, even though I have been sticking to the speed limit mostly, which means 110 kmh at times. Managed a 3.0 L/100 km (better than 90 mpg imperial) from outside of Calgary to Maple Creek despite this, so I’m thinking it’ll be a good day…

I’ve been using the boost gauge as one of the four that the Scangauge displays in real-time. The latest version of the Scanguage programming (v4.05) includes the ‘BST’ gauge standard in the preprgrammed set, and you can also adjust for the relative air pressure of where you are. The boost gauge alone could help you get better mileage out of your diesel. The lower the value, the better your fuel economy. I use the boost gauge to determine if shifting down a gear for a hill is better than staying in the higher gear and trying to hold my speed… ‘You cannot manage what you do not measure’.

Until the next post….

7:50 AM, Vernon BC

I’m in my 2006 smart cdi, now heading for Saskatchewan. Spent last night in my tent. Having departed Abbotsford quite late, I only made it past Kelowna at 1:30 am.

Between Friday and Monday, I will be making an attempt to top my previous best mileage, which was 2.23 L/100 km, 126 mpg (imperial) 105 mpg (US). I’ll be calling this the 100 MPG Challenge 2.011.

The cdi I currently have is one of only four like it in Canada. It’s a limited production special edition called the ‘canada1′. Mine is a red convertible. My friend Mike in Ladysmith also has one, except his is white. My friend Roy has a red coupe, and the fourth car is in Ontario, a red convertible.

I’ll be updating with photos and trip reports through the weekend.

My car is equipped with 135/70/15 tires on 3.5″ wheels on the front, and 155/60/15 tires on 4.5″ wheels on the rear. I also use wheel spacers on the rear to keep the stock track. I’m anticipating about 0.2 L/100 km advantage from this narrower wheel set-up. Other than that, the car is stock - I’ve not yet installed cruise control. I am of course using a Scangauge II fuel economy computer for that much needed real-time feedback on my performance in the car.

You can reach me by e-mail, or call me at 604-636-2180

Cheers,

Keith

Hi,

We are the original owners of this 2008 smart fortwo coupe. It is a local Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley vehicle.

The car has not been in any accidents, has just 39,000 kms at time of listing, and has warranty from smart canada until September 2012.

Service wahas been done at Three Point Motors Victoria. The car needs nothing but to be driven!

smartieparts cruise control

Wider European genuine smart alloy wheels from Flying Tiger with Vredestein QUATRAC all season tires in 195 50 15 on the rear and 175 55 15 on the front. This improves the handling and cornering. The normal tire size is 175 55 15 on the rear and 155 60 15 on the rear . So an extra 20 mm per corner!

I met up with ‘Walter from Wadena’ Saturday afternoon after arriving from Birch Hills in a strong headwind, and an otherwise unremarkable fuel economy result. After chatting with Walter for a couple hours, and showing him this blog, I filled up at the Co-op, and headed due north. The Scangauge had me pegged as low as 3.4 L/100 km when I arrived in Tisdale.

Prerssing onwards west to Melfort, the wind was less favourable, and I ended up with a 3.6 L/100 km, which is 78 mpg (imperial)

Realistically, if I had been running the OEM width tires as opposed to the wider Vredesteins, I would have done 0.3 L/100 km better. Which means the 2008 gasoline smart would be capable of 3.1 L/100 km in ideal conditions, driven at 80 kmh. That’s 91 mpg Imperial or 76 mpg US. And that’s without any other modifications…

So there you have it… the gas smart is quite capable if driven nicely. I’ve actually got the 2008 up for sale now, and hope to find a good home for the car.

I’m looking to return to SK in September with the ‘canada1′ diesel, and make an attempt at 2.1 L/100 km over a 1200 km stretch. That would be 135 mpg (imperial) or 112 mpg US.

Just a quick update before I depart from Birch Hills, SK.

My mileage between Prince George and Lloydminster was a fairly respectable number. 973 kms on 39.16 litres for 4.02 L/100 km. That’s 58.5 mpg US, or 70 mpg imperial. And that is running on 175/55/15 on the front and 195/50/15 on the rear, which are each 20 mm wider than stock, and likely costing me 0.2 L/100 km, or 2 mpg US.

Today, I’m heading for Wadena, SK, and hope I do a bit better.

As I write this, I am in Edson Alberta, preparing to head out Friday for familiar hypermiling territory in Saskatchewan.

I’ve brought my 2008 gasoline smart, also known as the 451 model. It’s rated for 4.9 L/100 km on the highway, but already this trip, I have achieved 3.9 L/100 km between Prince George, BC and McBride. I’ve not made any serious attempt to beat 4.0 with this car until now. I am looking to see what it is capable of, and am hoping to beat 75 mpg (imperial).

The car is stock, except I actually am running LARGER wheels and tires, 175 mm on the front and 105 mm on the rear, versus the 155/175 set-up as delivered. This should be costing me about 0.2 L/100km. Also note - I have a full compliment of camping gear in the car.

Friday, I’ll be passing through Edmonton and will be making a stop in Mont Nebo, SK, before finishing the day in Birch Hills, SK. Saturday will be the real test, as I head off for Wadena and possibly Yorkton, in search of the best mileage I think I will get. I took my first diesel smart here in 2005 and 2006, and achieved my best mileage record to date, surpassing 100 mpg US on the 2006 run.

Interestingly, I did not have the benefit of real-time feedback that the Scangauge II provides in either od those years. Although the gas smart won’t touch the numbers the diesel can reach, I’m fairly confident I can get a pretty respectable number. I’ve got a handful of Scangauges with me on this trip if anyone is interested in purchasing one. You can reach me at ’six oh four, six three six, twenty-one eighty’. I’ll be heading back to BC westbound, possibly through Calgary on Sunday.

More updates and photos will be posted as they are available.

For those with a smart car who live close to Vancouver BC, there is an official Mercedes-Benz Canada smart event this coming weekend.

You can register and get all the details here.

The registration begins at 9:30 AM at the North Vancouver smart centre, located at 1375 Marine Drive, North Vancouver BC

The scavenger hunt will officially kick-off at 10:30 am and last into the early afternoon

It would seem that original owners of smart cars were mailed an invite - I did receive one in the mail. But we’re not sure which model years were included in the mail out. I have purchased two cars brand new from smart, and received just one card.

Anyway, you don’t need the card… but please make sure you register so they can plan accordingly.

I know this is short notice, but it’s likely to be the biggest event in Vancouver for awhile.

Thank you for the interest in the car. It too is now SOLD! (as of June 4th, 2010)
