Found the NRCAN (natural resources Canada) official fuel economy figures for the 2000 Insight.

Interesting: both the Chev Metro / Pontiac Firefly and the Insight were on the list of "most efficient cars for 2000" by NRCAN. 2000 was the first model year for the Honda, and the last model year for the Metro/Firefly:



NRCAN Honda Insight ratings (5-speed manual):
- City: 3.9 L/100 km (60 mpg US / 72 mpg Imperial )
- Highway: 3.2 L/100 km (73 mpg US / 88 mpg Imperial )
Compare to US figures...

EPA (old) ratings (5-speed manual):
- City: 3.9 L/100 km (61 mpg US / 73 mpg Imperial )
- Highway: 3.4 L/100 km (70 mpg US / 84 mpg Imperial )
- Combined: 3.6 L/100 km (65 mpg US / 78 mpg Imperial )
EPA (new) ratings (5-speed manual):
- City: 4.8 L/100 km (49 mpg US / 59 mpg Imperial )
- Highway: 3.9 L/100 km (61 mpg US / 73 mpg Imperial )
- Combined: 4.4 L/100 km (53 mpg US / 64 mpg Imperial )
