True, but testing on an Insight is darn hard to do. The car is ultra sensitive to a whole host of factors, not the least of which is percentage lean burn, so it is practically impossible to do A-B-A testing with any accuracy. For my modding ideas, I rely of things which I can verify in Hucho, or tests on other cars, either my own or others. I have improved the aero on one of my Insights such that I "seem" to be getting about 7-8 MPG more as compared to my baseline Insight.
