I won again

My first win was finding a 92 Honda VX .. 6 years ago
Well now my VX needs a new fuel pump, good thing I won again I bought a 2000 Insight!!
Just as luck would have it less than a week after I managed to FIND a 5 speed 2000 Insight in way awesome condition with 103,000 miles, with a/c, my relentless VX had a fuel pump die .... Perfect timing !!!
So far the Insight has had 68 MPG as an avg for prolly 5/8ths of the tank, without knowing how to drive the car for MPG.
Driving the VX for the last 6 years has definitely allowed me to get the amazing MPG on the Insight, But I'm just amazed at how ez the Insight is to get MPG in compared to the VX.
So far all I have done is add my 40 watt solar panel to the Insight to boost up the 12 volt battery while parked.
Well ok I have also installed an old Scanguage 2 and tried to stop the wet seat belt dilemma that seems to plague these cars.
I can't wait to learn more about the Insight, I honestly never expected to find one.
