Plus, I am a Christian and doing things like that ruins my peace of mind.

If you are breaking even financially (gas vs insurance), I think its more than worth it to keep the Metro due to other benefits. First of all, you aren't further wearing out a vehicle with over 360k miles on it. This prolongs its life and prevents you from needing to buy a newer vehicle sooner, and is thus actually large financial benefit. Second, there are environmental benefits which IMO should be weighed especially since you are a Christian (protecting God's creation).
Perhaps I'm missing something, but are there any downsides?
Also, if you put the Metro on the business insurance, I'm guessing you can remove the Frontier from the business insurance and thus get a price cut?
Sorry for going on about keeping the Metro. I don't mean to be a pest, but I think there are some things left to consider.
