The Insight is now officially on the road. I went out to go to work on Friday and I smelled gas when I walked up to the Metro. I had smelled it very faintly one or two other times in the past week. That morning the smell was very strong. Thus, the Insight is now on the road.

So, I need driving tips! My daily commute is roughly 1 mile 25-35 mph on each end of my commute. Between is 5 miles of 45 mph rolling hills. The trip to work is mostly downhill where the trip back is mostly uphill. I assume the Insight will really shine on this commute assuming I can keep it in lean burn on the way home. But, I need help learning how to drive this thing best. Thanks!
