On this site, user Ecky built a k-swapped first generation Insight. He built it for both the power enhancement and the eco potential. Think of it as a heavily aero modded Acura made to look like an Insight for the drag benefits. But he also swapped the gear box for taller gearing. Hopefully he will notice your question, but if you take the time to read through his thread and contact him you'll likely benefit. I think he swapped in a 3.4 FD from a compatible gearbox and got a major freeway ROM benefit while still getting the power he wanted. Most radically eco-modded Acura we have ever seen on this site!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
