In order to get really high MPG, the Insight can not be driven like a "normal " car. If I hypermile it, I get from the high 40's to mid 50's(depending on terrain and traffic conditions) average per trip. If I drive like I'm not in a hurry, am somewhat light on the pedal, I typically get in the low to mid 40's MPG. However If I'm in somewhat of a hurry and drive it slightly aggressively,(not hot rodding it) I get in the low to mid 30' s.
Conclusion. Unlike a non hybrid car, MPG with the insight is GREATLY influenced on HOW and WHERE you drive it. All that being said, I really like my Insight a lot.
