I agree with that opinion.

We've averaged mid 60's MPG with our Metro for several years now. If we can get half of that out of this wagon, I'll be quite happy.

You won't and you never will, no matter how hard you try or how you attempt to mod it. I too own an old Chevy wagon, older than yours. You might get 14 City and 18 Hwy at best - so don't expect much more from it in fuel economy. It's a big, heavy beast. But you can move heavy or large loads with that old wagon, as no modern SUV can, and it would be best if you reserve using it only for that purpose alone. Other than using it for such things, leave it parked. That's what I do. I only drive it a few hundred miles per year. As long as it runs when it's needed, that's all that matters.
Everything has it's purpose. Use your pony as a pony and your workhorse as a workhorse, as needed.
