How did the owner get such poor fuel economy? 54 MPG is awful for a 1st gen Insight with manual gearbox. His license plate says he loves 60 MPG.

Anyhow, I'd never get the 1st gen Insight because I have no use for a 2-seater since I already have a motorcycle. I would be tempted to take it on as a project car though and then sell it. It has low miles, so I wonder why the battery is dead. Perhaps age is a larger determinant to battery health than miles driven?
