Thanks for the helpful replies. Perhaps I should narrow my search: I'd like to retain use of a Scangauge II so I imagine I should first purchase a Metro then find a junked Volkswagen or some other small-engined Diesel car. I know 1.0-Litre Diesels exist but I don't know much about them or if any American cars even have them.

I haven't even the car yet and I think I'm pulling the cart before the horse.

I imagine one could get over 85 MPG out of such a conversion plus deletions and Aerodynamic mods, Though...

Edit: Please take my reply as what it is: Some guy's reply on the internet. I was just imagining I could get such a high MPG figure out of such a car, And perhaps I can too but I haven't done it.
