No, the Saturn is geared taller than the insight and has 100 hp at 5000 rpm, doesn't have variable cam timing, is 500 lbs heavier, not including wife, two tool boxes, 2 cats, a welder, a tow bar, and other stuff that was as additional 400 lbs on this trip. It is at 2042 rpm at 65 mph.

Yes, it should have a switch to tun off the electric motor and a turbo for boost up hills.

I'll put some injector cleaner in it to see if it helps. How do you know when it is in lean burn mode?
