Then in their long term update they say they drove it 40,000 miles and averaged 48 MPG. They admit they drove it like like they would any other car they test. Some of their drivers did better but still 48 MPG average over lots of miles.

I don't think I've ever seen a used Insight with a lifetime mileage that low. Most tend to be in the upper 50's or low 60's, in the hands of normal drivers.
