Hi all,
Before i leave for the week, i think I'll give ya'll some food for though. Looking through the milage database you would easily think that the Insight is the most efficient of the hybrids...this may be true, but I'm doing calculations to find the truth. Using the average data from the milage database I will calculate the number of gallons to propel a pound one mile for each of the cars assuming a 160 lb. driver. That will give us one efficiency figure....but to be fair. The other hybrids all have seats for more than two....so per person who will arise victorious?
Single occupant
Civic Hybrid: 7.558 e-6 gallon/mile lb.
Insight: 7.437 e-6 gallon/ mile lb.
Prius HSD: 6.774 e-6 gallon/mile lb.
Need I go further? Suprisingly...the Prius is the most efficient per pound...I will continue no further. As you add passengers the efficiency gap will continue to rise. The HCH will become more efficient per passenger than the Insight...making the Insight the least efficient :blink: STARTALING!!
Cheers,
Steven
