Anyone else bothered by the title? Should read something like "f You Want 70 MPG, Your Next Car May Have To Be A Gen1 Insight". My 2000 is still showing 71.2 average over 10 years/125K miles that I've owned it. (Admittedly it's not getting quite as good as it used to, since the lifetie average dropped from 71.4 a year or so ago.) So with 14 years of technical improvement, you have to go to something like that delta wing to get not even a significant improvement, but the same fuel efficiency?
