You're getting nearly 50 mpg with your Metro, so you are probably right! If you were switching from a 23mpg vehicle like I did, going to a Prius makes sense (I had already swapped with my wife so I wasn't driving the 17mpg vehicle any more!) Cutting your gas cost in half if pretty nice, but you would only see an improvement of a few miles per gallon over what you are getting now.
