'course its a 5speed! jesus!
i'll do a search for CALPOD on the insight forum
sounds like there isnt much to gain by swapping rims between the HX and the Insight. both have LRR tyres on them, and both sets are fairly new.
I was refering to putting MMO in the gas tank, not the engine oil. it helps A LOT with the HX. once i get proper lean burn instrumentation in the Insight, i'll try it out myself.
what is the lowest speed (or RPM) that the Insight can get into lean burn?
I gotta admit, as much as the ~1 or 2 MPG gain from 0w20 oil might give me, it just seems waaay to thin.
is it OK to run 10w30?
I was amazed to look under the hood and find that the battery support is all aluminum in the Insight. aluminum body too. they really went the extra mile to take every pound possible off this car. AWESOME!

I drive the car with assist (and background charging) disabled almost all of the time, and I enable regen for slowing the car down on those unfortunate occasions when I can't coast to a stop.
