Here are a few great reads on what we're discussing, and a quote from the autospeed site.

"in lean cruise, the Insight’s EGR valve is closed. At idle and under full throttle, the valve is also closed. In fact, in normal driving it is closed far more often than it is open. So when is it open? The valve is open its greatest amount (about 50 per cent duty cycle) at light and moderate throttle, at both low and high revs. It also opens when the car drops out of lean cruise to consume its stored NOx emissions (see Giving the Insight a Good Driver for more on the lean cruise behaviour of this car). Finally, it is open for a short time on throttle lifts. "
