I'm borrowing a 2001 Insight and lean burn seems to double the instantaneous cruising MPG. Maybe the test cycle doesn't let Hondas enter lean burn much? The best tank in the Wagon with the original trans (shorter FD than '91 DX hatchback) was 70 MPG. Best tank after installing the CRX HF trans (taller than '92 VX) was 82. So the gearing increase more or less matches what I saw.
