Me :-) And of course you can get 70+ mpg from an Insight.

With a ScanGauge you can consistently win extra energy points.
You can even hack it with a PHEV kit.
The Insight's instant mpg display is far more accurate and responsive than the ScanGauge, which in my experience (I have one in my Insight) lags badly and is often wildly inaccurate WRT anything fuel-consumption related. (Though it has many other useful functions.) You can hack the Insight with MIMA, too. People have also done the PHEV hacking, though I don't know if there are kits.
