    Just like zalobar with his 95 Turcel getting 50mpg if he keeps it under 65mph. I have a 97 Geo Metro 4cyl. if I drive under 65mph I get at least 45mpg on straight Gasoline not the 10% Ethanol blend most people THINK is so great and saving them money at the pump here in Iowa 10 cents a gallon cheaper, I get 5mpg less town and highway driving on 10% Ethanol. There is less ENERGY IN Ethanol than gasoline ,so to get the same amount of power out ouf your engine you will have to burn more of the 90% gas&10%Ethanol , this cant be Poulliting less if your burning more fuel, I feel sorry for those people in States where BIG BROTHER dosent give them a choice of straight Gasoline, to get the best MPG and the 10% Ethanol CRAP and get less MPG, sorry farmers its a lousy fuel for street cars, might be alright for Race Track Engines, ETHANOL is Crossive on Aluminum , most of our Engines Cylinder Heads are made out of Aluminum, ETHANOL eats up rubber fuel line hoses, thats why Car Companys went to Plastic Fuel line hoses, Ethanol makes Steel rust, once again thats why newer cars have Plastic Gas Tanks, I have read in short term tests that the 85% Ethanol is going to make the Engines wear faster. Also Ethanol and Gasoline dont Chemicaly mix they will settle away form each other, at the gas pump you may get less than 10% Ethanol or way more than 10% Ethanol in your Car Or Truck , This Ethanol is just a BIG SCAM on the American people. Back to the Geo Metro, It was made By Suzuki until 2000 also some of them had 3cyl Engines that was rated by the EPA at over 50mpg on the highway , LIKE THE OTHER PERSONS 95 TOYOTA TRUCEL AND GEO METRO,SUZUKI SWIFT WHY IS NO CAR COMPANY MAKING ANTHING LIKE THESE CARS , MOST IF NOT ALL THE 4CYL. ENGINES ARE 4 VALVES PER CYL. HIGH PERFORMANCE EAT MORE GAS 4CYL. ENGINES , I BELIEVE THIS IS A CONSPIARCY TO NOT PRODUCE THESE MORE FUEL EFFICENT CARS.

    you are saying to make a ford focus get 50 mpg it wound cost $50,000.00. Do the cars in europe and japan that gets 50mpg cost $50,000.00 I have a ford focus, If I was to buy a new car today it would not be a focus the MPG is not good for the price of gas. I would buy the prius because it gets 48 MPG I am looking for gas milage not looks or size.

    Why is no one talking about lowering the speed limits so that we can drive smaller and smaller cars. It would save thousands of lives each year. Everyone is complaining about their rushed and fast paced lives. Where are we going to start slowing down and living at a more reasonable pace. Vehicles running 75 to 85 MPH bumper to bumper and side by side is suiside pure and simple. With all the seat belt laws and child restraint laws, how many people are still crippled and/or killed each year? What is the rush?
