200+ HP, 65+ MPG tank
Cross-posting from the 70MPG Challenge thread, but I'm so pleased I can't help but share it in a few places.
Drove back from Boston on Sunday, and managed a hair above 65MPG over 220 miles in my Insight. This might not seem like much of an accomplishment, but I have an engine under the hood from an Acura TSX, which has an EPA rating of 19 city / 27 highway and probably in the range of 220-230HP at the crank. I don't know if there is another 4-wheeled vehicle on the road (which isn't electric) that has this kind of power to weight and fuel economy.
