HA! I actually thought of the G1 Insight fleet when I saw my tank numbers. Of course, you guys can get these results going a lot faster than the Firefly.

For comparison... on this weekend's trip to my friends' cottage, on a route that goes through a bunch of small towns plus a small city each way:

- 3.1 L/100 km = 75 mpg US @ 39 mph average in the Firefly

In the Insight (pre-boat tail), on multiple trips at around the same average speed I averaged:

- 2.5 L/100 km = 96 mpg US (Then the boat tail brought that up to 109 mpg, round trip.)

As for the air dam, it's still too high! How do I know? I hardly scrape it on anything! The car needs to be lowered.
