Since my Insight is used mostly in the flat open country of East Anglia UK its been returning mpg figures expected from this type of terrain and I am pleased.This usually is a figure of 82mpg (imperial) for a tank average of mixed driving,however having just made a 470 mile round trip to the west of England I am stunned to record a figure on the return leg of 87.5mpg over a distance of 175 miles.
The reason I am surprised is this was mixing it on the motorway almost in a race mode at times,with my wife constantly telling me to slow down at speeds up to 84 (hardly economical driving) and in rolling hill type terrain a opposed to the normal flat country.
All I can say is this car is phenomenal and im sure most non Insight owners think im loony when I tell them the figures.
My only complaint is the excessive road noise generated on coarse surfaces,does extra insulation cure it?
