Found this site to give you a base for comparison. It covers '85 to '97 Metro, '85 to '94 Sprints/Fireflys/Swifts. http://fueleconomydb.com/index.php?-tab ... l=%3DMETRO

my 86 gets close to 40 in city, and 37 freeway. highway (assuming 55) would be much better than 38.
i love how there never state the speed of the 'highway'

1989 GTI (white)104k 5sp,AC (Resto-mod completed 1999). (looks great, But rusted out ,need clean southern body.)Help!?
1991 Vert (red) 129k 5sp,AC, Resto-Mod, 75% Done.(Clean SW car)

1994 Swift GS 4Dr sedan (Painted 2005 Ford Kona Blue) 95k 1.3 SOHC 5sp

My 86 Automatic gets 36 and 40, running between 62-65 on the freeway. Pretty consistent tank to tank even if I have my AC running. I guess I have it as tweeked as I can hope to get. A few aero mods and new tires probably slightly help a bit too.

Do you maintain a personal fleet like I do?
Why do we do it?
Because it's what we enjoy and because we CAN.
2011 camaro, 2005 Vibe, 2016 Outback, 06 Expedition, 87 Porsche 911, 87 Turbo sprint, 82 Brat, 73 gmc 4x4, 69 camaro, 99 Gl1500 Honda Goldwing, 12 Kawasaki klr650, 2012 Kubota L3200, and we wont even go into the small stuff.

I am getting 44 during the summer and 41 in the winter. I commute 30 miles each way, mostly rural 2 lane roads at 62 mph.

1987 Chevrolet Sprint Turbo under construction

Just bought an 86 which had the interior gutted and racing seats installed. Not to mention no A/c (anywhere)

Since it has been "lightened" I'm sure the car weighs less than stock. But as of now I'm getting 50 to 55mpg mixed driving.

My ol 87 was only getting 45 tops.
