My goal for this year is to just get my damn Metro up and going reliably ( I have only had it for 9 days). so far I have yet to get concrete numbers because of a fuel leak, but it seems to be averaging 38-40 mpg after having leaked out an indeterminate amount of fuel. For next year I hope to average 50 mpg using it for pizza delivery.

(Note: the car sees 100% city driving and is EPA rated at 37 mpg city)
