A good place to compare cars' fuel economy is at http://www.fueleconomy.gov. This includes statistics of smart cars and regular cars to compare them.
NO. The Smart Car is not a hybrid and receives no tax break. It has a 3 cylinder 71 h.p. gasoline engine. The Smart gets around 40 mpg but requires the use of Premium fuel. This is equal to a car burning Regular fuel and getting 36 mpg. Not a good trade off for this tiny car. There are larger cars that do just as well on Regular fuel. Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, just to name two.
The smart car gets 80 mpg in Europe because it uses a deisel engine. The US is only getting/selling the gasoline version, which accounts for the different/lower (40 mpg) efficiency.
