#1 of 8 Honda Insight: MPG-Real World Numbers by pf_flyer HOST Jun 12, 2006 (5:13 pm)
With the price of gas being what it is, your real world mileage is becoming more important than the estimates on the sticker. This is the place to talk about your real world on the road results! Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Aug 22, 2009 6:12 am)
#2 of 8 very good mpg !! by billy5 Sep 21, 2004 (10:36 am)
Hi all; I am new to this forum. Just thought I would report I am very pleased with my 2003 Insight. The car is a pleasure to drive, and I often exceed 1000 miles on just 11 gallons. I have AVERAGED 86.2 mpg over 33,000 miles so far. I am a pilot and verify my numbers using my GPS and saving fuel receipts. Generally, I just put a little extra air in the tires, and slow down slightly. These 2 things contribute greatly to increased mpg in any car.     Anyway, I also spend alot of time cleaning the car, including the underside. I display it car shows on saturdays, and answer lots of questions and meet nice people. With the high % of highway driving I do, AERODYNAMICS and the lean-burn catalyst are the primary reasons for such high mpg, NOT the electic system (IMA).      I applaud Honda for designing such a wonderful automobile........and shame on our culture & society for believing we need to have 300 horsepower and rush up to a stop light, only to slam on the brakes! We need to learn about momentum, leaving for work early & not hurrying! Billy...... Replies to this message: gagrice (Sep 21, 2004 1:44 pm)

Replying to: billy5 (Sep 21, 2004 11:36 am) Billy, Welcome to the forum. I'm with you on all the extra horsepower some feel they need. I'd be tickled if I could get half your mileage with my Suburban Gary
#4 of 8 Government mileage test by gagrice Oct 07, 2004 (12:47 pm)
Here is the mileage test on the Insight. It is obvious that AC is a real challenge to those trying to get the maximum gas   http://avt.inel.gov/hifart.html
#5 of 8 After market modifications by currijr Jan 31, 2007 (7:16 am)
Hi, I am new to the group, my name is James R. Currier. I was told of a person in Woodstock, Ct who has come up with a 5th wheel modification for the Honda Insight that claims an mpg increase to >110 mpg. Has anyone heard or read about this and if so please give me his name and or email address. Thanks for listening Replies to this message: msirach (May 20, 2007 6:06 am)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jun 12, 2006 5:13 pm) Mr Host, you really need to find a way of differentiating Old Insight from New Insight in the thread titles.Those two cars are unrelated.No?
