55 mpg in the Geo

It's my first time breaking the 50 mpg mark in a vehicle. Granted it feels a little cheap doing it in the Metro, but nonetheless, I think I did pretty good considering all the tires were below 20 psi for half the ride and one of them even needed to be filled up everyday. No mods either except a mirror delete and grille block on the last 30 miles or so.

Tweak a few things and I think 60 - 65 mpg is easily attainable.

You should have no problem getting 60 MPG from that car. Good job!
