Albany, Missouri allow Golf Cart on street to save gas

The Smart car isn't a hybrid at all. It's just a tiny 1 liter 3 cylinder engine that propels a 1,500 lb car.

The Geo Metro was slightly heavier and had a 3 cylinder engine with less horsepower which was around 55 hp versus smart car with 70 hp.

I drove 1990 Geo Metro w/ 3 cylinder. It had pep and fast. 3 cylinder engine weighted 90 lbs! U can hoist engine barehanded. The car was my friend's. I drove 1989 Mazda 323 and my friend raced w/ me. Her car nearly kept up w/ my fast Mazda (actually she was fat lady driving in her metro :lol: ). If skinny guy like me in a metro, it may as well "no race" :rofl: it's kind of interesting that 3 cylinder can muster with 4 cylinder.
