Metro mpg,
I love this little car, it is like a go-kart.
My previous commute was 2 miles, & I drove a 3/4 ton 4X4, or an 05 Mustang. When I took my new job 40 miles away, I realized that I had to change my ways.
In researching to select an economic car, I stumbled upon your Metrompg website, this webste, the metro yahoo group, and team swift. The more I read, the more I wanted a Metro.
I picked a vert to keep it fun, and an automatic to save my knee in the stop & go freeway drive. I realize that I gave up some MPG with this combination, but this car suits me perfectly. The initial MPG was great in comparison, but I am enjoying trying to squeeze more out of it just out of principal. In my younger days I would mod for power, now I mod for MPG.
Ray
