I would think, even if you were to put the TDI into the insight, its still interesting. Also just with the drag decrease from the beetle>insight change, you could possibly have a mpg increase larger than just 10mpg, weather its really Worth the effort or not... Its all in good fun.

Or better yet, TDI>Lotus with gear mods and possibly get 40+mpg while retaining Sport functionality(Im pretty sure i have seen this lotus on another forum before when i looked up Rear diffussers for inspiration)

Or turn the beetle into a sleeper street car, and do some aeromods
