Those are impressive numbers anywhere !

On this side of the Pond, the VW Lupo 3L and Audi A2 (3L) may occassionally do better, but they're both diesel cars (and diesel has a higher CO2 output/L).

It doesn't look good so far for another 90+ tank right now, we had an incredibly hot and muggy day and rather than suffer I ran about 150 miles with the ac running, I have the fuel display back up to 85mpg but getting it back up to the 90+ area may be a little hard this tank.

Matt, yes was thinking of the 3L cars, but now that you and others mention it, they'd be hard pressed to beat the Insight at all.

Meaning the Insight is doing more with less (energy density of its fuel).
