*notice them hubcaps*
 
...that Metro is running! *wink*

I think I am a little closer to getting me some of them...

I would like to find a place that has some sort of warranty on them....but if not, I'll just get them and if they don't increase my mpg's they will be offered up on eBay, ya know?

(never mind, i'm getting used to it. i didn't buy it for the love.)

in fact, in trying to figure out what the uber-efficient metro "XFi" stands for on the swift forum, the best we could come up with was "Xtinguishes Female interest".

Haha, I have nothing but love for the metro, but gee whiz, it's not very cute. It is wicked light though. But still, honda has some better technology. :p

Viscon
 
Did anybody notice at the bottom of the article it said:
"Fuel efficiency of the 20 percent biodiesel/diesel mixture was enhanced by the additive “Viscon,” which is the chemical polyisobutylene." Another vote for PIB.

Spiro exhaust
 
I can't find anything on Google about the Spiro exhaust they mention in the article. Could this be the same thing?
