BTW going from summer to winter blend only cost me less than 3mpg. check my logs. so I expect no more than a 3mpg gain when we go back to summer blend and warmer weather.
oh and lets not forget the LOAD I carry when I drive either car. In the metro I am almost 100% of the time a couple hundred pounds over its rated weight limit of 688 pounds. HELL I myself an 380 pounds. (yeah yeah I am working on it down from 420 in the fall!!) Just me and my gear at right at the weight limit without adding any more people :-)
I always carry 3 people (including me) and many times a full load of 4 people
the metro always has a few hundred pounds in it in gear and tools and the jeep wow at least 400-500 pounds of crap in it at anyone time :-)
IF YOU WANT any specific data just ask. I will try to provide whatever I can for you if I am able to get it for you.
