From a quick look, though, I think Fuelly may be a rather biased sample. Out of 86 1st Gen Insights, only 7 get 70 mpg or better. I've averaged over 71 mpg with mine, despite fairly difficult driving conditions, and not doing any serious hypermiling, just my usual smooth driving.
Results for my Toyota pickup are similar, though it's harder to do an apples-apples comparison. I'm on the high end of the curve, despite mine being a 4x4 and used for hauling & driving really rough mountain dirt.
Like I said, all that's needed to get EPA or better is an adjustment of the nut holding the steering wheel :-)
