First 100 mpg segment in an Insight 5-speed by a female!

Hi All:

___I just got off the phone with Billy and he told me Cynthia received her first 100 mpg round trip back and forth to work segment in her Insight 5-speed today. Boy was I excited and asked that she immediately send me a pic so I could post it. Not only did she crush the EPA in Gary G’s FEH while at Sebring last month, now she is the first female to breach the 100 mpg barrier in a mass produced automobile that I know of?



___Cynthia, congrats and I was sure excited hearing about your drive today!

___Good Luck

Whoa careful Wayne, don't go putting any gas liberation paradigm shifting ideas into impressionable minds!

Wow!

Talk about women drivers
Us guys may feel a real challenge here!
I will have to start carrying a camera in my car to capture my mileage successes...but I have the feeling it will be a long time (if ever) that I come even close to matching Cynthia's achievement.
Congratulations!!!!

Very impressive milleage, at what travel speed travel do obtain such phenomenal figures.
I did once register 2.4L/100km at 75/80 km/hr wich is 98 mpg at 45/80 mph.

Hi Normand:

___The following is what Cynthia sent me:

Intake air temperature was between 105 f and 122 f.

Reads like she's got a hot air mod or is monitoring IAT for hypermiler conditions.

Does she have a sore ankle?
