Exclamation Consider The Source

I think most of us are savvy enough to avoid beleiving every link you see. The 20-something Insight driver that put up hondasucks.ca is well-known at the IC forum with many members wondering if the very hard driving has a lot to do with his car problems. If you want to look, go here.

42.3 mpg lifetime, while not absoulte proof, strongly suggests he did not respect his Insight. Even CVT Insight can get 50mpg without much effort.


I have mentioned having O2 sensor problems at 30,000 miles. This was the period I'd cruise 70mph with the pack and daily "show" someone flying by at 85 they couldn't.

Can't prove it, but I suspect an extended period of very aggressive driving will harm O2 sensors and catalytic converters.

I have no proof - just suspicions....

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months
