Sendler,
That mileage sounds way too low !!!!
In the summer, and traveling on a flat country road at 45 mph, the Insight can easily get over 100 mpg. I mean easily. This does not require belly smoothing panels, or a tail any other mods.
In fact on a hot summer day, 120 mpg is more realistic.
Throw in some EOC and now your looking at 130 or more.
I wonder if they used a CVT instead of MT?
Jim.
