Yep, you read it correctly -- I traded the Insight for a 2006 Acura TSX with low miles.

The real story: my Wife teaches high school and drives regularly when school starts. We figured that we save about $20 a week or more if she uses the hybrid daily, since I have a variable, home-based travel schedule and often rent cars for work -- so we traded until Summer

So, I get my Insight back once in a while...

In the meantime, I park the TSX and drive the Integra, which is getting about +10 MPG and keeps the miles off of the newer vehicle.

So my question -- how many of us here have stumbled upon a vehicle with great FE, only to let someone else in the family use it??? I have a feeling that it happens all the time...
