If FE is the primary goal and you don't need the back seat/extra space, the Insight is superior to the Prius. Even in city driving, the two are about equal. Outside of city traffic, the two aren't close. You also have a car that has a cult hyper mile modding following that can hit some pretty extreme FE numbers. BUT, it cannot touch a Prius on running clean; the lean burn that makes the manual Insights incomparable at highway mileage hurts its emissions.
