What I note from the Spritmonitor figures is that the best Civic beats the best Insight by over half a litre. There are also 6 Civic's beating your own Insight. Of the Insights, there are only three cars beating your Insight.
This is what I said right at the start, hybrids make less sense to hypermilers as ICEs leave more on the table. Hybrids make more sense to regular joe's who only know how to mash one pedal or the other. Personally, my T5 TDI beats the NEDC city cycle by 35% even with a commute that can be as slow as 14km/h. This is without turning off the engine at all, no EOC, no mods, unless you count a cracked cylinder head (the cracked head looses about 1/2 litre of diesel per tank). I have no doubt that most of us would beat the official numbers of the Civic by some margin.
