Correction: Only 12.9 gallons was consumed, giving 174.72mpg
The stock Insight with A/C is about 1900 pounds before considering the weight of the driver.
As far as I know, no stock production vehicle (Insight, Prius, etc.) has exceeded 40mph doing better 100-110mpg because pulse and glide is required.
The pulse and glide practiced is common to hypermilers of various vehicles
With fuel consumption this low, temperatures below 60F and winds significantly impacted the results.
Nobody is pretending to claim this is like everyday driving, but to demonstrate what can be done. Should be noted that some things done on the Insight Marathon can be done in a limited way in everyday driving.
