Hi All:
___From my understanding, a 5 speeds Lean Burn can give a boost of ~ 20 mpg on the Instantaneous bar graph when it is evoked (if it can be evoked?). My real question is can a novice Insighter get into Lean Burn on a test drive with a passenger (salesperson or private party) at ~ 60 - 65 mph on a relatively flat highway? Would it be sustainable for minutes/hours or do you constantly fall into and out of lean burn while traversing flat ground? Is 60 to 65 mph to fast for Lean Burn as I have not seen any discussion of the speed range in which lean burn is possible on any particular Insight? When you arrive at Lean Burn, does the Instantaneous jump to 60, 80, 100 mpg or does something else happen? I may as well ask, is Lean Burn available at almost all speeds up to and exceeding the speed limit or just when you travel under 60 mph?
___I would like to use this as a test as a quasi diagnostic in case I were to make an offer on a particular Insight? If Lean Burn mode is available at 60 – 65 mph w/ 2 passengers (I weigh 200 myself and I assume a passenger would weigh 125 to 200 as well) the engine is more than likely in tune I would assume? Is this assumption valid or are there other considerations when buying a used Insight in regards to the engine tune and capabilities?
___Lastly, is there a light or indicator that lights up on the FCD when Lean Burn is reached?
___One other quick question that has nothing to do with Lean Burn … Does the Insight have an outside air temperature display? I have one in the Corolla and the MDX and I love it!
___Thanks in advance once again …
