PS - noticed an inconsistency in the first video: at the ~0:48 mark, the drag coefficient given is .28 ("nought point two eight")

The drag coefficient was originally reported by Honda as .28, my 2000 Honda Insight service manual has .28 in text and its crossed out and .25 written in. The newer manuals are accurate though.

These videos are the best videos I've seen so far discussing the Insight and it also gives me a better idea of how much space I'd have under the car with the gas tank removed, seems quite a bit!
