I started with a diesel rabbit but it was just too smelly, noisy, slow and ugly for me. So I sold it and have a line on a '98 3cyl Metro. I may chase down the "Metro XFI" components which are 2 ring pistons, special cam, and special gearing, and maybe computer (still learning). There are web sites with people getting 70+ with these but I suspect they are in very flat areas.
