Hey guys I just bought a 97 geo metro sedan. It is a 4cyl. auto. Never owned a combination like that and was woundering what type of mpg I should expect. It is rust free and has 91,000 miles. Lastly, are there any topics on here that show how to change it over to a 5 speed manual and what is needed. Photos will come when I pick it up next friday. Flying to philly to get it. Thanks |

It is really hard to say without a lot more information, but a lot of what kind of mileage you will get will depend on terrain, driving conditions, cars condition, and your driving habits. Generically speaking, you can expect anywhere from 32 - 38 mpg with the 4/3 combo. There have been several topics started about swapping from the auto to a standard, but as far as I am aware, no complete guides have been filed. It is highly recommended to have a complete donor car available (i.e. have a standard car with say, a blown or missing engine and possibly a shot chassis). For further / more indepth search, go to Goggle and in the search box paste in - site:geometroforum.com/ auto to manual swap |

Thanks for the above info but what do you think about tires and rims for this car. What would be the best combo of rim/tire without rub problem to get max mpgs? |
