and my X Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I swear I put $10 dollars on my Metro 2 weeks ago, and I still have gas. I put 30 dollars yesterday in my X, and 25 last week (I put like $25 to $30 when it reaches half a tank, I dont like driving the X close to empty).

So now I average about $120 on my X a month, and $15 on my Metro a Month.... DAM! So put together im averaging 28.5 miles per gallon (city driving) on both cars..
You are comparing apples to oranges. Not a fair comparison either way. 3 cyl to 6 cyl, 2300 lb to 4900lbs, ride, SAFETY, comfort....Plus, I've worked on Metros and would never drive one (personal opinion) in a heavy populated urban area. My safety and life are more important to me than the cost of gas.
