Well, I was barely able to stay above 70 mpg on this tank, but I did it!

Insights are the perfect commuter car if you live in a perfectly flat, dry, calm area and have a long, steady commute on the highway (which describes my commute most days through central Florida on I-4). Add in wind, cold or rain, hills or any combination of them and Insights start to struggle.
This tank was a mix of short trips, a bunch of rain days, carpooling, and practically every day was windy, so I consider myself lucky to stay above the 70 mpg mark.

IMA battery is still doing great, wish I had attempted the discharge/grid charge process long before I did!
