Hi Jason:

___You E-Mailed the wrong guy. Rick’s mileage over the last 2 years is exactly what he receives and posted. I have seen the pic’s of his dash. The two you need to go after are the 106 mpg Insight and the 75 mpg Prius. These are both one-off segments and are not representative of lmpg or even year over year mpg averages.

___Krousdb, the Insight and most other std. ICE automobiles are quite capable of crushing EPA estimates. The 04 Prius in particular isn’t given it travels ~ ½ the EPA City loop on the pack. 100 + mpg out of an Insight in warmer temperatures is practically a given if you drive with the techniques already posted around the net time and time again. A low to high 80’s average is quite doable over a one year time frame in many warmer locales especially. The 04 Prius looks like it is going to top out around 60 - 65 mpg lmpg or year over year with a high mileage driver behind the windscreen. Maybe a bit more from someone in a warmer climate possibly?

___Good Luck
