Talking New Here - 2001 Honda Insight 5sp

Hey guys, got on here not too long ago. I have a 2001 Honda Insight manual.



I bought her a couple months ago and at first wasnt getting too great of gas mileage, then the tensioner pulley fell off, and the engine over heated and warped the head gasket. So a huge fiasco to start, but after getting it all repaired it was still not getting what I had hoped (56mpg town/59mpg highway). I found this site and started getting pretty good results (58/65) But still not the 60/70 the says she should get. And since Im pretty sure that the EPA doesnt hypermile, these numbers should be common and easy to get. So Im not sure why I cant average 65+ mpg. Any ideas would be great!

Also, Im planning on making some aerodynamic (hopefully) improvements to help the hwy mpg out. Any suggestions there would also help.

Thanks guys, cant wait to hear from you and participate in the threads.
