Thanks for the information.
I currently live near Lotus, CA and commute accross highway 49 through to Auburn down to Rocklin, CA. A tedious uphill downhill road for about 90% of the commute varying from 1-10% grades.
I do drive the five speed and normally dont use the AC but have been recently since the temperature has been heating up, but can easily live without or by using it on econ mode.
And believe me, I am totally stoked with my "only 50" mpg, before I got my insight I was driving a truck that I was filling up the tank every other day on my commute, now I fillup every 10 days.

___50 #’s as a minimum in the RE92’s. Mobil1 0W-20 Tri-syn between the marks. Drive the speed limits and no more. Use A/C on Econ or not at all. A/C alone will knock a 5-speed out of Lean Burn for much of time you might have access to it and that is where the real wild mileage is … Finally, learn the “Drive with load” technique if your Insight hasn’t already taught you how. These items alone should get you far above EPA estimates in warmer temperatures. When it starts to get cold, we have some inexpensive and quickly installed/removed warm air mods that might help you out as well

Ok you lost me on most of that information. I dont undertand what you mean by the Mobil1 0W-20 Tri-syn, or the "Drive with load" information, and would love to get more information on the warm ari mods.
