Got 70 MPG? Posts: 5,800 Group: Moderator Member #1,061 Joined: Aug 5, 2009 Location Kentucky Year/Make/Model 1995 Geo Metro LSi 3/5, 1997 Geo Metro 3/5	I doubt any A/C was ran, I may finally hit 66 MPG in Two-Face from all of that heat, still got a couple hundred miles to go before I'm on empty, so we'll see how this weather holds out...

So does the nut that holds the wheel. My "race Geo" pulled 46+ mpg last tank. But this nut, that holds the wheel, was a bit calmer on the throttle. Amazing what 5mph will do. Congratulations! Awesome accomplishment.
