Re: 2001 Geo Metro mileage drop from 52 mpg to 38 mpg, why?

Considering a 2001 metro is only rated for 34mpg highway, I think 38mpg is a sweet deal. You may have been mistaken for it getting 52mpg. It's an MPFI 16v motor, there's no possible way it could get 52mpg unless it was a hybrid, or rolling downhill in neutral. Also, assuming you're up in the north here, heater blower motors use a lot of electricity. They can have a signifigant effect on gas mileage.
