Does this include the energy that is needed to recharge the battery you are draining via MIMA? Or are you just talking about a once in a while short duration average on your computer. Your numbers are way off somewhere. Or 99% of the rest of our Insights have been broken from the factory. The highest verified in competition fuel economy I have ever read about is a MIMA Insight with twin batteries where he got 98 mpg at 50 mph for 200 miles. Draining the batteries at the end with MIMA for a free .06 gallons worth of energy.

Maybe you can compete with us at the next Vetter style challenge next July at Mid Ohio.
