#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)

#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

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?
