Hypermilers Reach 150 MPG for 2000 Miles with the Honda Insight
No Comments
When I first heard that Toyota was aiming for a 100 mile per gallon hybrid, I thought that was pushing it.
Well, a group of “hypermilers” aren’t quite manufacturing lots of cars to go an average of 150 MPG – but they are aiming for this high fuel efficiency with a combination of driving a car known for its great mileage, the Insight, driving methods, and a smooth terrain.
That terrain is located just outside of my home – Tulsa, OK. And it’s known for being pretty much flat and gentle to drive on.
At the end of the “Insight Marathon” this October, the Insight actually exceeded their expectations for day 1 with a relatively solid 156 + MPG.
