I'm curious to know the difference in fe performance with manual/automatic in the first generation insight.
Even on the EPA's website
Fuel Economy of the 2000 Honda Insight, it doesn't mention an automatic transmission.
It does mention a 2006 automatic here:
Gas Mileage of 2006 Vehicles by Honda.
Of course, the epa's numbers are always undershot. I'd be curious to know what a conservative driver could get out of an automatic 1st gen insight.
