Hey is that Metro an old boxy one or is it a Turtle?  I've always wanted to get a turtle, gut the engine bay and rear end, slap an independant rear suspension from an RX7 in it with 4:30 gearing, stick a sprocket on the diff's input shaft, and mount a Busa motor right above it.

Think about it...the car would weigh what?  1100lbs gutted and motorless?  Add 400lbs for the Busa stuff and RX stuff.  160rwhp 1500lb Turtle.

Low ~ 55 MPG
High ~ 63 MPG
This year's average = 58.4 MPG

When it's running, it's a great way to commute...

Are you sure your gas tank isn't leaking :o

Are you drag racing down every street, I just can't see how it can be that low.
