Around here it hasn't been hot enough, enough of the time to stay much above 70's (aka my mileage drops like a rock if it isn't 85degrees all the time)

Can you explain more about "extraordinary" circumstances? What temperature? At what avg speed do you drive, what is the % city-highway, what driving technique do you use, do you have mods?
From what I've experienced in my Insight when driving in city, if I P&G with the engine on, I cannot get over ~85 mpg. If I P&G with the engine off, or P&EOC, I can get as high as 130+ mpg (highest I've got is 132 mpg).
On the highway its a totally different story, Driving with load in Lean Burn all the way at 75-85 km/h (42-52 MPH). Target is 125-145 mpg on the Inst. fuel consumption bar graph.
I get a big hit too when temps are lower. Struggling to get 90+ mpg. lowest temp recorded was 12°C so I haven't drived the car in very cold conditions yet, i.e below 0°C. Hope it stays in the 70+ mpg area
