Sounds an awful lot like my '88 Toyota pickup. Yeah, it only averages about 27 mpg, while the Insight does over 70, but the Insight has real problems hauling more than one bale of hay at a time :-)
Hummm... If you consider bales per gallon, I can get 6-8 on the pickup (more with a trailer), so the Toyota gets at least double the bpg of the Insight.
