I know this thread has been 'asleep' for a month, but I thought that this would be best here.

Check out this 75mpg Metro http://www.1989geometro.com/index.html

Darin is already getting 62mpg, but a xfi should get 70mpg with the same mods. I think with some engine tuning and maybe the whole underbody covered it's possible.

Did a search using 'geo metro fuel mileage'. On the first page.
