"In the past month my 1997 Metro (automatic) got 49.8 mpg on a highway trip and the next tank of gas which included two city trips was 42.7 mpg. The average was 45.98 mpg. I think this info speaks for itself. "

Somebody want to tell me what this guy is doing that i'm not?
I did manage to get 45 MPG on my automatic but that was with some reeeally careful driving. This guy must either be doing something awesome with aerodynamics and mods, I dunno.

I just drove my Little Red Rocket 2820 miles on a road trip. Most of it was really hauling ass. 75-80 mph on the Istate. And I had to cross the Rocky's, Wasach, Sierra's and Coastal ranges. So I was in a lower gear pulling really hard. I averaged 27+ for the trip. It only took me 58 gals of gas. No to bad for a car with 209,000 miles on it. That artical blows

Well you know a reporter that has never driven a geo would exactly know what mpg these cars get. I like these stories because they really don't think when they write them. Hmmmmmm what seems to make more sense......Driver A pays $600 for a geo, puts liability on it, has to do regular maintenance on it and gets 47mpg on average. Driver B pays takes out a $25,000 loan for a prius, since he/she has a loan, he/she has to put full coverage on it. Driver B gets 48mpg. Remember, They are both buying these cars to save money. So who has saved more money after 3 years?

I was terrorized by a Punk in a Prius on Topanga Canyon Blvd. on the way to the beach/PCH. Since then, I have not been a Prius fan. He must've thought he was doing the world good by terrorizing a Geo Metro. Yah, Right!
