- the stock engine is 1.3 and four cylinders
- the spare engine is 1.0 and three cylinders (from a wrecked insight)

Does this seem like a doable mission? Or better-off just leaving things as they are (no engine swaps)? I estimate fuel savings would only be 10 mpg. About 0.1 gallons saved per 100 miles (33 cents saved/100 miles).
