I'd like some warmer weather - please go out & buy a new winter coat or something.

Clearly you've got OPEC on the run! They must be worried that diesel Metro conversions are poised to overtake hybrids in popularity, so they're monkeying with prices to shift the tipping point and stop the pending insanity.

Is that an official MPG result? Is it really 70?
