It would seem that I need a 1.3L to use the A/C and still be able to get up and go. I understand I will get better mpg if I slow down but I am not willing to spend that much time on the road.
Don't tell me it isn't that much more time. I made the run in my pickup at 85-90 before the metro and dearly wish I could get the commute time that short again. Looking like crazy for a job closer to home is the key!
Thanks for the input |
just to be clear, the 8mpg increase was with a 1.3
epa ratings for 96 metros
1.0 manual 37city 44hwy
1.3 manual 33city 39hwy
1.3 auto 26city 31hwy
as far using the a/c and still having some get up and go, i'm sure the 1.3 manual is the speedy version of the metros. but dropping down to a 1L might not be as bad as you'd think because you'll also be ditching that auto trans.
anyone know which is faster (less slow) 1L manual or 1.3auto?
