MINI rated tops for gas mileage in Forbes!

Hey, saw this article on Forbes.com for the top gas saving cars, and of course our beloved MINI close to #1 with a pic at the top of the article, red with white racing stripes! The article popped up on yahoo.com which is my homepage. Kinda nice to know we are all "earth friendly" even if that isn't why we got it, even if we aren't with the hybrid types

I usually get 30+. When considering my next car (of course the Mini won,) fuel efficiency was a biggie. I bought it in Dec 07, and prices were well on the rise by then. If it wasn't your intent, you're a double winner. Fantastic ride and great mileage.

Not a Smart car either.
