Let me introduce myself...I just bought a 2019 Insight about 1 month ago. I have a 110 mile round-trip commute to work 5 days a week, and I wanted to make a more eco-friendly purchase as well, which is why I decided that I wanted to buy a hybrid. I'd actually like to go full electric ultimately, but financially and logistically, I don't think that I can make that a reality for at least another couple of years.
In the meantime, I am liking my Insight so far, but I am having a hard time learning about it. I've done a few searches online, but I mostly come up with reviews, and that's not what I'm looking for, which brings me here to this forum.
I am mostly interested in learning tips on how to best operate my vehicle to achieve maximum fuel economy performance. I did watch a video that I found on here by a gentleman named Verdier, which was quite helpful (thank you, Sir), but I feel there is even more to know. I am actually somewhat surprised that I cannot find anything that is directly published by Honda, like a straight-up instruction manual that explains the best ways to operate for full efficiency. Maybe there is such a thing and I am just not aware?
I'd also like to learn more about how regenerative braking works. I have never heard of that before purchasing this car, and I am using my paddles, but I'm just sort of doing it blindly, so any info on exactly what regenerative braking actually is, and any tips on how to best perform the function would be most welcome.
I am assuming that these questions have been asked on this forum many times, so I apologize for what most likely seems redundant to you all, but what I am hoping for here is that somebody could possibly point me in the right direction for the best threads that cover these items. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to participating in some discussions on here. Have a great day!
