I currently get up to 32MPG. I already take the path less traveled, though it's a bit hilly - hills are impossible to avoid in East TN, though.
Given the trade value of my vehicle currently, I'm pretty sure I could do an even trade for a Geo Metro with no out of pocket expenses. Granted, I would also likely have a whole lot less longevity on the engine, and an EV conversion is probably going to cost $5k in batteries alone.
