New Gas sipper from AZ

Hey,
I am Cactus Jon from Arizona. I lucked out last July and found a lady here with two first gen Insights. She wanted to sell one, and fortunately she wanted to keep the one with the CVT. I changed the oil to 0w20 Mobil One, changed the tranny oil, and installed a KN air filter. The battery was changed under warranty at 75K and the car had 118K when I bought it. I have been getting 62mpg in warm weather and 58mpg during the winter. I love the fuel computer display as it reinforces frugal driving habits. Just wish I could get some more power without sacrificing gas mileage.

Current Fleet:

95 Plymouth Voyager 3.0L 22mpg
98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST 32mpg
01 Honda Insight 62mpg

85 Kawasaki ZX750 turbo 50mpg
87 Honda TLR200 Reflex 80mpg
87 Honda Elite 150 90mpg
89 Honda XL600V Transalp 60mpg
08 Vespa GTS250ie 75mpg
