Keep in mind, those guys getting low 50's are probably cruising at moderate speeds or using a fair amount of engine-off coasting. (Kill switch installation in these cars is pretty easy.)

LSI. I'm pretty sure LSI meant 4-cyl in the later Metro years.

Nothing crazy just driving the metro, including seeing what it had a few times so not the easiest tank literally topping out the speedo once, I know I know but I couldn't resist. I wound up still pulling 44.0.mpg out of the tank I must just have a very good conmute. 120 miles mostly all highway exempt about 10 miles of it. I hooked up my torque app and I'm pulling 3100 rpm in 5th at 70 mph on the stock 155/80/13s. Bet it can improve a bit more.
