Smart ForTwo, the ultra-super-teeny car from Daimler
Q. Forget about style. I want the most fuel-efficient conventional car money can buy. Which one should I go for?

A. Don't mind running errands in a glorified golf cart? The Smart ForTwo coupe ($12,235) gets 41 mpg on the highway, 31 in the city.

A roomier option: the Toyota Yaris ($13,110), which gets 36 mpg and 29 mpg.
