Scion/Fit/Smart + MPG ratings

I apologize for the length of this post, but am hoping someone can explain.
I was looking at miles per gallon ratings, and am confused by how poor the ratings are for these little cars. The Fit is 27/34, and the Scion is 26/32. I get better than these numbers (usually 29.8-31) in my Saab....is my "city" driving that different than what they test? My commute has ~17 traffic lights in ~16 miles each way, I think that's plenty of stops. When I do highway driving, the SID says 33-35 mpg. I believe it, based on its accuracy when I do the math at fill up. Only the Smart car has relatively high mpgs listed (33/41). We were considering downsizing for commuting, but what would the benefit be? Or are the ratings as far off as they are for Saab (rated at 19 city... I get 29.. could I tack an additional 10 mpgs on the other cars??)
Also, how would the Smart car respond in the snow and icy roads...
Thanks-
