Am I the Only One Exceeding EPA MPG Estimates?
I've only had my Insight for about a week. I've been on vacation, so today was the first time I've driven it to work - about 100 miles round trip.
For a goof, I put it in Eco mode and drove conservatively. It's mostly downhill going from NNJ to SNJ, so I wasn't surprised about the MPG when I got to work, but when I got home, the trip said I'd gotten 62 MPG for the entire r/t. Is this normal? I'm not complaining. Either I'm an awesome newbie hybrid driver, or I've got the golden Insight.
Which is it? Does anyone else have numbers like this? My first tank drove about 350 miles and only took about 6 gallons to refill. This was without even knowing the subtle nuances of hybrid driving.
I seem to be getting roughly DOUBLE the MPG of the 1999 Civic I traded for the Insight!
