So after a three week long search I found a '96 Geo Metro for $700. 1.0L 3cyl 5 speed, 150k miles. Throws egr and o2 heater code, small exhaust leak, and malfunctioning a/c... which is why it was cheap.

Ran my normal route and got 52mpg trip per my laptop obd2whiz. So pretty good, don't even know what psi the tires are at yet. Should be solid after a tune up and some aero mods. I laughed when I saw this thing doesn't even have a trip odometer, but it drives better than I thought metros did, and isn't particularly uncomfortable.

I'll throw some pics up tomorrow.
