65 Year Old Newbe 95 Metro 3 Cyl 5speed Dallas Tx
Ola Ya-all,
I am fairly new to hyper mile have had 3 metros in last year. My 95 2DHB 3 cyl 5 speed was acquired 1 year ago. I immediately took her on a 2 week 3000 mile trip. During the trip best tank got 48 MPG. In the winter I get 41/42 MPG driving 50/50 highway/city no A/C. In the summer I get 36/38 MPG again driving 50/50 highway/city with A/C. I am in the process of doing the XFI cam mod. If the cam mod works out I will be looking for a taller transmission/rim combo. I live on disability income and am retarded. Thank You For your Time And Patience, Wayne Rich in Carrollton TX |

welcome! sounds like you have a great car and great plans for it!
interesting that you take a big hit in summer on your fuel mileage. i've had 2 different 4 cyl vehicles that yield better efficiency in summer even considering a/c usage. i would think most would have the same result. my guess is that you either have mild winters or that 3 cyl engine REALLY struggles w/ a/c. i believe most of the members here that have them(3cyl vehicles--metro/firefly) live in the northern US or live where a/c is not a "necessity." best of luck. i look forward to seeing you in the top 10! put your car in the garage so we can follow your results. |
