Welcome to GreenHybrid. I'm glad you shared your experience, because it definitely shows what an "average" driver who isn't mileage-hungry achieves on such cars. And, please let me tell you that 53 MPG on the Insight is not at all unheard of! 53 is a higher low than any other car on the market, so don't be down.
As for adding your data to the database, please do! We strive to get the most comprehensive and accurate information. Your experience and figures are as valid as the others -- in fact, more so. Our current Insighters are rediculous about mileage, going to far lenghts to squeeze a bit out of the gallon. This is not normal.
I don't know if you saw the other driver who [apparently] removed his two Insights today or yesterday. They both brought the Insight average down, but I was glad he added them. It pulled things back to reality.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll learn a lot about your car here, and encourage you to share the wealth of information you must already have. Good luck!
