Which merely demonstrates that perhaps neither your observational abilities nor your knowledge of cars are quite as good as you believe them to be :-)

FYI, the 1st gen Insight has a 10.5 gal tank, but for me a typical fillup was about 9.5 gal, at roughly 700-750 miles. (Nowadays it's 350-400 miles on a $20 bill.) Other people have done quite a bit better.
