[MetroMPG]

If you're getting 60's in a regular Civic, it stands to reason you're probably skilled enough to get silly numbers from an Insight - 80's sound reasonable.

But Robert's right - the financial difference between 60's MPG and 80's MPG is pretty small. Run the numbers (volume of fuel per month/year for each) and you'll see.

That said, if you want one of the most efficient cars on the market, the manual shift 1st gen Insight is hard to beat - high (efficiency) performance. Make sure the battery pack is healthy and go for it!
