vrmouseyd15b, whats the check engine light for? Some cases that can cause the computer to not allow lean burn if equipped and cause the fuel system to run at a default afr rate vs relies on the o2 sensor(s).

Think I do 2300 rpms at 70. Once you pass 70 the cvt starts to very the ratio and rpms start to flutter or float up and down. Need to reduce rolling and aero resistance or just lock the cvt ratio once merged into traffic.

Hersbird, thats what Ive said and the hybrids should be required to start the test with a dead as possible the car will let. It can take 7-14 miles to burn off a full charge on the gen 2 insight and I imagine a good bit more for the prius and so on depending on the vehicles battery size. In the mean time city mpg is artificially high.
