Hybrid Cars (Score 1)

I owned the Honda Insight for almost 2 years and logged about 77k miles during that time. When I first got the car, I was ony getting 53 miles to the gallon in the city and 58 on the highway. Then I found www.insightcental.net. (http://www.insightcentral.net/KB/faq-quicktips.ht ml) On this site I found tips on how to drive the car to extract the best mileage. I was then able to drive from Oak Ridge, TN to Birmingham, AL getting 78mpg. That is 6mpg better than Honda claims. I got 76mpg on the return home. This was at speeds not exceeding 65mph except on downhills. After a while, I starting driving it like any other car and got 53mpg on the highway.
