That very thing is why I'm driving the Volt now! I drove Ron Burgundy around with the IMA turned off for a while but even in dead-flat Florida it was too slow to be practical.
Of course I killed my IMA battery by falling asleep while discharging it with two 200 watt bulbs (down to around 1 volt if I remember correctly), so it was my own fault, not Honda's . . . but I got tired of the Insight pretty fast after that happened
