Nice job MetroMPG! Wish I had the patience!
+1, congrats man!
they called you a geek..
:lol:
cool, i think sergas car could benefit from your styling cues.
but the 3 cylinder tdi is and engine i have always wanted if i go for the economic end of driving.. its high 70- low 80
in fact this entire car with the tdi:

Yeah: a small, torquey 3-cyl diesel would be great. We had them available in Canada in the previous version Smart car. Maybe we'll luck out and get a diesel in the Polo if/when it comes over. (Canadians like their diesels much more than in the US.)
I know a guy who's looking to import a 15 year old Audi A2 high efficiency model with the 3 banger.
Haha, I got a 2-door hatchback Chevy Sprint with a Suzuki 3cyl gas engine. No mods, the thing still gets 60mpg. :lol: It's the ugliest car I've ever seen though...
there was a guy on vortex who put on in a 77 rabbit, which the end result shed another 500 lbs versus the a2 it can out of, and he was able to use a taller final drive because of that. i think he was getting like 120 miles per gallon highway without hypermiling. he has the full cut out system and everything in it.Quote:

Yup... the Kammback and the covers for the rear wheels... I'd keep the covers clear though so the beauty of the MSR's doesn't get restrained. ;)Quote:

yuck
yay for local stuff!!
seneca lake area has some really steep hills, i wonder if he would have gotten better if it was flatter
I was surprised to see he was in Watkins for that. I'm only about 30 minutes away from there. For some reason when I talk to people online I always have a pre-concieved notion that they are further away
wow, good job Metro! This tickles my eco friendly balls.
i use to be in newark, now i live in rochester. you?Quote:
