Because this is an ecomodder and not ecostock forum?
Just kidding... mpg isn't the only metric by which I measure a car. I'm a speed demon so 0-60 in 14.4 seconds isn't going to cut it for me. Having a fast car that gets 60+ mpg is kind of the best of all worlds, no?
My Insight also has a salvage title and the previous owner has a want/need for the entire drive train. The battery pack/engine/transmission will live in another Insight that needs them right now.
