Here's a fun calculation:

fuel burn = BSFC * BHP * ET
350 g/KWh * 65HP * 19.9s = 94g = 0.21lbs = .035gal
That's .14gal per mile, or 7mpg. Not bad.

BSFC from the Wiki, assuming stock fuel map, 5500RPM, and full throttle. SWAG on the BHP figure for your Metro.

It sounds to me like your Plymouth is running a weee bit rich.
