What the Chevrolet Metro sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Metro, latest tested year 2001:
The label also prints an estimated $2,200 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 275 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Metro under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Metro's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1988 to 2001. Worth checking before you compare a Metro sticker from one year with another:
The figure actually fell by 19 mpg across the span — usually a sign of added weight or power. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Where to find the VIN on a Chevrolet Metro
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Metro, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Chevrolet Metro all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Chevrolet Metro whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
