    Today y pumped gas on my 2002 cvt 121k and the mpg dropped out of nowhere. I got it to go up a little but it dropped so fast again compared to other times I drive it. Any insight or knowledge is appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏼
  3. Honda Insight MPG
    We just got this car a ittle over a month ago and have put 1600 miles on it including a 500+ mile road trip. Even when using cruise control, even when driving city, or when turning off ALL features (including AC etc) we cannot get over 44 mpg in a best case scenario. Long distance road trip...

    Hi all, I'm new to the site and I have a silver 05 MT with a/c. I put in a bumblebee replacement battery two years and everything is ok but I never can get the mpg I used to after being forced to undergo the Honda software "upgrade". Any way to reload the software so auto stop comes on like it...
  5. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hey everyone, I am in need of a grid charger to balance out my battery. I was told a good one runs about $300. Any ideas on which one to buy? Also ever since I bought my 2005 cvt insight I can only get up to 50 city/ highway maintaining a constant speed. I was told I have "the good tires" for...
  6. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Two different and perhaps related issues. I bought my 2000 Insight on eBay (!) with some 130K miles on it and since then I have put in some 15K miles. The lifetime MPG was 54.9 when I bought it and I raised it to 55.2. Then my daily MPG started dropping to something near 53.5. Same commute, same...
  7. MPG Issues
    Just bought a 2010 Insight EX with 22,900 miles on it. Drive 250 miles this weekend (two long trips, some city, mostly highway between 60-70 mph) and used an entire tank of gas... I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The display says I'm getting 37 mpg, but even that is low from what I've...

    About 8 months ago, I retired and became the proud owner of a low mileage 2005 Insight. Even though I own (2) V12 Jaguars, XJS and XKE, I LOVE driving my Insight more. The only problem I have is my wife complains the low seats hurts her back as she is 6' but I am 6'5" and mine only hurts a...

  10. MPG Issues
    I've spent a lot of times pouring over all of these threads on driving techniques to learn as much as I can before posting any kind of ignorant or exhausted questions. Now that I've done my homework I'm hoping for feedback as to why I am stuck at 58mpg. I think I know the factors but would...
  11. MPG Issues
    I recent purchased a used Insight, 2002 with 140k miles on it. I have been driving it in the city for 3 weeks (though I plan to use it mostly on 300 mile rides to Vermont soon) and have been getting consistently under 25 mpg. I called the nearest Honda service center and was told that my issue...
