What kind of techniques are you using? And by "other Insight pilots" do you mean people who hypermile them?

If you use "forced auto stop" (shutting the engine off with the key) plus engine off coasting / pulse and glide, the Insight can pull crazy numbers in city driving.

And... welcome to the site.
