Got it about three hours ago and I'm loving it... cue music

Stopped at a rest stop and after 175km I'm at 2.8l or 82.7mpg. It was an even 90 after the rural highway stretch at the start.

MetroMPG even let me take a ride in the forkenswift which was fun, and has peaked my interest in a classic mini conversion but I have no time now and I doubt it would ever be more economical than the insight. I'm 6'4" and find the car more comfortable than most. I love the simplicity of a flat door panel.

You're going to have lots of fun with this machine, and I know I'll miss it.

(PS: glad it's going to an EcoModder! Staying in the family.)
