Thanks. I actually saw 67 mpg on my ~5 mile trip back from church this evening. I was pretty psyched about that!

I also am going to have to look into how each wheel spins. I loose speed fairly quickly, even at lower speeds. At the higher speeds I figured it was (and still probably is) the not so stellar aerodynamics of the Metro. However, at low speeds I'm also loosing speed faster than I should be (faster than I remember the Paseo loosing speed). I already have the tires at 50 psi, so it must be something else. Perhaps a hanging brake or something.
