"As much as" is interesting to me. Do you mean that the Cali HX engines/ECU were set up for a "lean burn light"? Is that what you read? I know from I think MetroMPG that the gen 1 Insight had lean brn even in Cali (got a ULEV rating in fact). So maybe the HX improved on the VX lean burn somehow, sorta on the way to where they got the Gen1 Insight?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
