Well, the first thing is a tune up is in order, an oil change to 0w20 synthetic and fix the clutch cylinder. Then I can play with aero and lean burn and battery mods.
I didn't see a mpg bar graph, how do you enable this?
The Saturn engine has 115 ft lbs of torque at 2400 rpm and the Insight only 66 ft lbs at 4800 rpm, so yes maybe I have to down shift and rev the little engine up, but that wasn't an option yesterday however.
The Insight is at 2122 rpm at 65 mph.
relative displacement, Liters/hour at 65 mph:
geo metro 3 cyl with 4cyl trans----2511
satrun sc1 with 205/70r15----------3816
CRX HF 48 state---------------------2841
Insight first gen,manual------------2112
