Hi everyone,

Not new to ecomodder, but new to the Geo Metro ownership experience. I just picked up a creampuff 1989 Metro XFi last month. 1.0L 5 speed 3.79 final drive ratio, 12" wheels.

I wish to hear from other current and previous Geo Metro Ecomodders what mechanical or aero items did you do that helped you the most regarding your fuel mileage.

1. What aero modification did you make to see the largest improvement?

2. What engine / transmission / tire change netted you the greatest improvement?
