Hello Johnny Mullet!

Understood, and Thanks for your reply!

OK, once I've found and purchase an XFi, as a DIY, I'm more than willing to
find and install: AC, Rear Defroster, and Rear Wiper, etc-etc.

Or, find a non-XFi, like and a LSi or Base Geo Metro 5 Spd 2 dr Hatchback that comes with AC, Rear Defroster, and Rear Wiper.

However, since my first primary goal is MAXIMUM MPG FUEL ECONOMY, it seems to me that an XFi is the best way to go since it is the lightest weight Geo made during 1990-1994 only, as well as tuned for max mpg, more so than any other Geo made using a 5 Speed Manual Transmission of course.
If I chose a AT, my engine would be over taxed resulting in a weak and poor performing Geo!

Please correct me on anything above I've stated that is incorrect.

THANKS AGAIN JOHNNY!

Tom
