My Insight came with a lot of instrumentation: Lifetime fuel economy, Trip 1 fuel economy, Trip 2 fuel economy, Current fuel economy (avg since button reset, usually at the start of driving), and an instantaneous readout. There's also a battery charge/assist gauge and battery level.

After changing my engine out, I now have an MPGuino which measures the injector pulses and gives an extremely accurate gallons per hour and MPG figure. I also have a bluetooth connection directly to the ECU which gives anything else I want through an app on my phone. I commonly used it to see degrees of ignition timing, intake and coolant temperature, vacuum, throttle percent, and air fuel ratio (measured vs requested).
