"I have to say those little Smartcars can keep up easily on the freeway though." It takes remarkably little power to maintain speed, depending on the vehicle aerodynamics. "All" the engine has to do is displace the air in front of it. The problem is getting up to freeway speeds before the on ramp runs out. The engine has to displace the air and accelerate all the weight of the car and contents. Many of the on ramps in the California cities are really short. Can the Smart cars do it or are they doing 40 MPH as they attempt to enter the traffic flow?
