I took delivery of a 2001 Insight with 11,000 mile on the clock a few weeks ago.
I have noticed that the more I drive the car, the better the MPG gets
I do a round trip of 130 miles a day (80% at 75-80mph & 20% city) & I started off getting just under 70 mpg in the first week over a full tank.
Second week I was getting around 75 mpg. Now I'm up to 85 mpg over a tank full.
Not sure what's going on, maybe the car is getting decoked as I wizz up the motorway as the previus owner drove around London traffic always, still I'm not complaining.
I do however get a stutter at around 50 in fifth, think it may be the EGR valve, I'll get the dealer to look next time it's in for a service.
