I agree.

With the Insight, I'm stepping hard on the throttle at 1500 rpm. I never let it get over 2000 rpm, if I want to get really good mileage.

I don't know if the V-Tec system works, because I never run the engine that high !!

With an outside temperature of 60F and a slight sidewind, the dash was showing 122 mpg when the driveway appeared. Lot's of EOC.
