    Problems and Troubleshooting
    hi G1 owners! I have an issue with decreasing MPG on 2001 G1 MT, 130,000.0 miles. I have owned it since 2010, 85K. For more than a year after getting right rear stabilizer corrected (I believe Honda dealer used Civic part), my gas milage has gone from 57 - 61 mpg to 48 - 54 mpg. I thought there...

  3. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    So I have an insight without an IMA system working and it says 43.7 mpg and I’m thinking of buying one with everything working but it also says 43.7 mpg. Any idea if it’s the special number for non working IMA?? Or why do they match mpg if one has the IMA system helping.
  4. 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...
  5. Modifications and Technical Discussions
    Hi: Brand new 2013 Honda Insight EX Hatchback owner! I financed this for around 10-11k with 52k miles. I wanted to ask if there were any mods that are recommended including body kits, spoilers, etc. to increase mpg. I dove into a rabbit hole looking for window tints (I ended up getting 3M...
  6. Modifications and Technical Issues
    Hi Everyone, I was having a poke at the wiring diagrams to follow the wires coming from the ECU and instrument cluster and noticed something interesting; to my eye there are no wires responsible for communicating fuel consumption data to the instrument cluster. I always assumed there was some...

    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...

    Hello everyone! I just bought an 06 MT 1st Gen and will eventually HAI it but I wanted to take a "roll call" of sorts of those of you who have one. List: 1. What type HAI do you have (link to your build type if available) since there are many ways to make one? 2. What MPG Gains (or losses) have...
  9. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    Hello all, Discussions of improving beyond the RE92 got me thinking. Anyone have an idea of or means to test the pros and cons of running two yellows in the back? Would there be significant tradeoffs between standard or taller tire? Considering their width and weight, I hope it would be a simple...
  10. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I found a nice one-owner 2005 Insight in California with 147K miles. I've fancied this car ever since I saw the first one. I have only had mine a couple of weeks and I'm having a lot of fun with it. The MPG readout in the odometer area doesn't appear at all, no matter what I do, it is just a...
  11. Troubleshooting and Problems
    Hi all, I have recently bought a UK 59 plate (2010 model?) Insight ES. Overall, I am happy with it, but have some questions that I would like you guys to help - am I thinking right, or over-sensitive while learning this new car. 1: Under throttle, there is often an over rev. I usually...
  12. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hi everyone, I've been following this forum since I got my 2000 Citrus about a year ago and finally decided to ask more directly for your collective wisdom. Background: My car is a Sept. 2000 MT A/C with 244k that I've owned since 220k. It was a single owner car for 16 years driven by an older...
  13. Modifications and Technical Discussions
    Hello Everyone! I am wondering if it makes sense to block the engine grill especially during the cold New England winter for long work commutes. I drive a 2014 Honda Insight and my commutes are usually ~25 minutes long where 2/3 is highway driving. One way is ~17 miles so about 35 miles total...

    Now that Bridgestone has come out with the Ecopia Plus tire, has anybody replaced their OEM Ecopia tires with the Ecopia Plus tires? Any difference in MPG, handling, road noice, etc? BTW, I got about 75,000 mi out of the ecopia's. Have not tried the Ecopia Plus tires yet.
  16. Honda Insight MPG
    Hey everyone, I apologize if this has already been a thread on here before. I did a search and couldn't come up with anything on the Gen.II Insight. Owning both a Prius and Insight, on PriusChat, there's a thread with all the current mpg record holders for stock Prius' that displays model...
  17. Modifications and Technical Issues
    After some inspiration from blue civic hybrid and KLR3CYL I decided to mock up and make my own aero panel. It's .093" polycarbonate from Home Depot. I added a PVC oil drain to match up with my Fumoto oil drain valve and a thumblatch door for oil filter access (as well as coolant petcock). I...
  18. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    So I admit it... I'm 13 years behind the times. I bought a 2000 Insight (red) in Oct of 2013. I've always wanted one, now I (finally) own one. The first 2 months were amazing. I went head first into hypermiling & on my 22 mile commute to work averaged 94mpg once & over 80mpg multiple times...
