One thing you miss out on is just how sensitive the Insight can be to various almost imperceptible factors - a slight uphill or downhill slope, a change in road surface, head or tailwinds, for all I know the magnetism of local rocks or the phase of the moon. For instance, there's one stretch of road (Calif 70 between Chilcoot & Beckworth) where I never get much more than about 60 mpg, even though it is dead flat and not obviously different from other roads where I'll often be in lean burn getting >100 mpg.
