Have a 98 Metro with 108k miles. Gets about the same mileage as your 89.

We have a 97 Metro which gets right at 36.9 mpg. It has just over 110,000 and was totaled three years ago by the other driver's ins company. We bought it back and had the side repaired and it is doing just fine.
BTW:The other driver was driving a Vette and he didn't fair so well.
