Bonbayel... I feel your pain.
I have about 120k on my 2000 insight. I experienced the same problem and I always focus on driving to get the most miles per gallon. At around 30k I had problems with the O2 sesors. They changed these (Honda later said they were not bad) and a "computer" at the time. Since then I have been in the low 50's. I have gone from 65-70 mpg to now 47-48mpg.
Finally my IMA light came on and finally a honda dealership was able to "diagnose" the problem. $5400 later, a battery and two computers, things should be better?
Not a chance! I'm getting 45-47mpg. The battery guage went from full at the dealership to around a quarter or less and wont go up. However, I have noticed bigger "spikes" on the mpg guage since the new computers.
I am wondering if there is a problem with the power generator for the battery?
