44.2 MPG-all city driving!
I had my best tank ever today! Yes, I really got 44.2 MPG in all city driving while delivering pizza. It took oodles of engine off coasting and DFCO but I am a little closer to my 50 mpg (city) goal. The only real changes to the car from stock have been higher tire pressures, 0W-30 Mobil 1 and a 75% grill block. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same car I bought for $250 on December 21st.

Wow! You da man! That's awesome mpg for short hop driving.

If you knew how difficult it was to change the starter on your
2.0 sr20e you'd never turn the motor off. i think this motor is underrated for gas mileage. with a stick and the lighter body of the sentra (i have the g20), i think good mileage is possible. |

Impressive! I just spent the afternoon reading about 104 dissenting posts to this hack US News article that discouraged people from buying Metros: Why You Shouldn't Buy a Geo Metro to Save on Gas - U.S. News Rankings and Reviews Dozens of people posted about exceeding 40 in pure city driving in their Metros. It appears you're in good company.

I have found a local '96 Geo for sale with 126K miles but it is an automatic.
Are the automatics that much less desireable for FE? Thank You, Rod |
