For us, this is actually pretty bad for this time of year. Our fillups in June of 2019 were:
-6/3/19--93.4 MPG
-6/10/19--84.2 MPG
-6/16/19--82.8 MPG
-6/22/19--85.4 MPG
Nice! Have I missed a thread around here about your Metro?

I've given up on the fairly extensive P&G and lower cruising speeds required for me to get those results from my Metro. I just drive with load on the back roads these days (but with plenty of EOC approaching stops/turns, of course) and am satisfied with ~70 MPG tanks. But I do appreciate the motivation to go for the big numbers.

My next fill won't be for another week or 2 since I'm now using the new-to-me Mirage for the full duration of its 2-week temporary permit.
