This will be an all out MPG car but within the reason of about a $5000 budget.

I will probably be using 2 metros as parts cars, but most of the car will be from scratch.

1 metro will be for the 3 cylinder engine
The other will be for the tall geared transmission.

I'm hoping the car will be fun to drive due to a low weight, good aerodynamics, a lowered suspension, and good weight balance. Worst case scenario I'll have a 4 cylinder engine and a shorter transmission which I can mix and match with to find a good combination of speed and MPG.

People who have mated the 3 cylinder to the taller transmission have said there is some driveability problems, but I'm going to have a lower weight car than they had and rear wheel drive, so we'll have to see how it goes.
