Seems like it takes all the fun out of hypermiling? I think hybrids are cool for people who accelerate towards a red light, but for us in the know it seems like a waste of energy.

Agree to disagree! I have never had so much fun hypermiling than I have had in the Turtle!
EPA sets the Gen-1 Insight average mpg at 53 mpg, but if you go to the team competition in the garage, you'll see they're the #1 car, right behind motorcycles.
Hypermiling a hybrid is definitely possible, and definitely fun! Don't really know what you could do in a Prius, but for the record, I got my Insight for the same three grand you're getting ready to drop on that one.
*Expect to hear from Balto on this too, lol!
