I'm really not sure, but I would assume that you should be able to access the hybrid info if you knew how to setup the x-gauges for an Insight. Thankfully, someone was knowledgeable enough to figure out the Prius stuff and I just use what they came up with.

More amps is certainly the key to higher mileage. For me it would also mean longer distances at higher speed EV mode use. Going my max speed of ~34 mph its pretty hard to eek out 5 miles before I've dropped my HV pack down enough where it kicks the engine in (and that is with charging up the HV before leaving too). More amps would allow less precharging and more sustained EV use which would not only be less of a pain, but also easier on the HV pack.
