Honda Insight Example
Hi,
I have a 2000 MT Honda Insight, and it's no contest on which method gives better mileage, with the following conditions:
Use this technique only on backroads
Average speed is 35 mph or less
Ambient outside temp is 90F or above
No wind, and flat roads
The Honda engine has lean burn capability at low throttle settings
Straight-line driving: max mpg is 120 or so, at 35 mph
P&G; 35 to 15 mph: max mpg is over 150 (pegs display)
Universities use this same P&G method to achieve mpg readings of over 2000 and higher. Slow speeds and lot's of engine off coasting.
Hope this helps, Jim.
