Hey gang,
I've got an angle on a 93 Metro 1L for a good price, but it has an Auto tranny. According to Fueleconomy.gov they are rated at only 40 mpg for the highway.
Someone selling a similar unit was trying to tell me that he was getting ~45 mpg. Because of the price AND if I can do close to 45 mpg regularly, I'll probably buy this more recent one.
I need the best mpg bang for the buck and have been shooting for a manual 3cyl. Which are rated at ~50 mpg. My job mandates my driving 215-260 miles a day M-F.
Does anyone have or know if the 1 liter Automatic transmission Metros do any better than 40 mpg? This, either via stock or simple modification? Keep in mind that this is in Phoenix which is 97% flat. Hence, why maybe the guy, with the beat up Metro, was getting ~45 mpg.
I am hoping that if any one has any insight as to if they do better than the .Gov website rating and/or if they know any cheap, simple mods to get the mpg to regularly achieve about 45 mpg. Plus, anyone know what my mpg will drop to when running the A/C for same vehicle?
Thanks
P.S Went to fill up my tank at an Am/Pm couple of days ago, they were lowering the price to $2.11/gal. Somebody fat-fingered and I filled my tank at $1.11/gal. Now, THAT'S fuel economy for ya. The good guys win one for once.
