5% plus constant killing / restarting of engine in the lovely puget sound traffic.

There's no way that you can keep the vacuum gauge in the green and keep up with traffic where I drive. Guaranteed. You must live in some pretty flat land.

I like the fact the Insight auto starts/stops when in those situations. It was nice during the brief test drive I did.

You're right, I'm sure that in a year i'll find something else I want to tinker with and someone will get an Insight with all kinds of eco mods for less than I paid for it.

That's how it goes with me.

I'm not entirely sure what the picture you posted above is illustrating?
