I just bought the 2006 Insight last fall after someone played smear the deer with it. I have put about $3000 worth of repairs into it and should have it back from the body shop where they are doing the few things I couldn't on the frame work. The only experience I have had with driving it was from my house to the body shop about 6 miles away and watching the mileage meter go from 60.2 mpg to 60.3 mpg for an average reading over the last 1600 miles. I cant wait to get it on the road and see what I can do with it for mileage.
Guess I will have to wait and see what else they come up with in thermo electrics, I read a story a day ago that they found that they could put the plates closer together than they thought they could and they would produce more electricity than before. Maybe sometime soon they will improve things enough to make it worthwhile to do. Until then I will keep reading and thinking.
