300MPG.org comes from the first time I ever tested my DIY Electric Kawasaki motorcycle. That clocked in at 321 MPGe. So, I rounded DOWN to 300 for a nice easy to remember number. I also like how many people think of 30 MPG as pretty good fuel economy (hey, it's above average!) but 300MPG is 100 times better!
I don't really remember the specifics of fuel economy equivalent on the Metro. I think it was about 130 MPGe. Electric cars in general typically get a little over 100 MPGe, and can go much higher in city only driving, etc.
