Again, ideal conditions:
22 C / ~73 F ambient
very light breeze
dry, rural (empty) roads
80 km / 50.2 mile round-trip
38 mph trip average, including a small amount of sub/urban driving on either end
And, again, this was driving with the aim of keeping the thing in lean burn as much as possible, plus engine-off coasting to stops & turns.
That's too slow though. On the open (rural) road portion of the trip, I'm probably averaging ~45 mph.
It needs more aero mods so I can go faster and continue getting these results.

I know these are old numbers but it makes me wonder if the hybrid system actually helps at all. When i first bought my insight the hybrid system was not working and i was easily averaging over 70 mpg but when i fixed the system i had to struggle to get it to 60 mpg which i can't do currently averaging around 55 this gas tank.
