Welcome Rob,
As the others said, a lot depends on how you drive, and your driving conditions. If you're driving <5 miles most trips, 38 mpg isn't bad. If your trips are 20 miles, I'd expect to be getting mid 40s to 50 mpg from your Metro in the Winter.
Start with the basics. Inflate your tires to maximum sidewall pressure, and keep your speeds at or below the speed limit. Anticipate stops, and coast to them. Accelerate moderately. Keep a fuel log, and buy a ScanGauge.
