Love the Fiero's my wife room mate had one in college and I'd buy one in a second at the right price.

Think of the elevation profile of the commute as a capital M, 150 feet of climb to the top of the first peak, 200 feet down the valley, 100 up to the next peak and then down to the end. There is a net loss of 365 feet from home to work. I hope that clears it up for you. Coming in with a cycling background probably gives me a different perspective. I very aware of energy loss when climbing any small rise.
The Fiero is fun, highly impractical except for commuting, and when driven with a light foot will easily get good mileage.
