The NYT Rhapsodizes the Original Insight
 

This popped up on my news feed this afternoon:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/25/b...a-insight.html

At 56 lifetime mpg in a manual G1 Insight I think it's safe to assume he never stumbled across this site. If I would have ever logged a 56 mpg tank in my Insight I'd have been tightening plugs, checking ground straps, cleaning EGR valves . . . etc with a horrified look on my face until I figured out what the issue was

Although his statement pretty much sums up this site

I suspect the steep dirt roads and New Hampshire winters had something to do with it.

EDIT:
Also the difference between 55 mpg and 75 mpg at the miles he was driving is $4 a week. Not a lot of people are going to go through much trouble to save that much money.

* 14,300 miles per year, $3 a gallon gas

$208 a year isn’t bad

The question of reliability (thus longevity) is at stake with a 10% drop in fuel mileage. The vehicle needs an examination. 10% isn’t noise.

Of course it also assumes record-keeping.
