Thanks for the test! Remember too the Mirage also comes with a bunch of safety features the Metro didn't which would attribute to most of the weight gain.

The Mirage trumps my Mazda 3 SkyActiv in the city but not the highway. A couple of months ago I did 1004 km on a 49.3L tank of gas. That's 4.9 L/100km or 48 MPG. A/C was on a quarter of the time to keep the kids cool, averaged 100 km/h, trunk full of camping gear.
