Very proud of this car. All city driving, hills, some cooler weather, nine stop lights on my drive to work each morning. What an achievement! Previous record was 80.8.

I’ve had my eye on a ‘01 Insight with 99k miles for $4500. Your videos have been supremely helpful. I commute about 120 miles a day which is why I’ve been looking at hybrids, and I love the old Hondas. Thank you for your awesome videos!!!

Wow! You’re making me rethink selling my Insight Have too many cars I’ve purchased from auction within the past year or already owned & cannot keep them all. Among them: 2006 Honda Insight MT 2005 Honda Element MT AWD 2016 Honda CR-Z MT 2006 Lexus GX470 2011 Acura TSX Wagon 1991 Honda Accord 2DR MT & 2011 Honda CR-Z with a k24 Recently found your channel and appreciate the quality content.

Thanks. How do you like the '16 CR-Z? I've thought of getting one one day.

@@gray25xt I really like it. I’ve owned a 2011 & 2015 before this one. The unique look & creature comforts of the 2016 are worth the additional $$ It’s very similar to the G1 Insight; but feels noticeably more refined, spacious, comfortable, and zippy. Will only need to sacrifice half the MPGs. If you like the G1 insight you’ll like the CR-Z.

So did lithium give you a better performance and efficiency or do you need to upgrade the motor somehow for that, Aero mods? Maybe a how to video on how to get 88mph lol😂

I have other videos that cover my mods. Nothing much aside from lithium IMA setup. Most of this is driver mod.

Congrats! What was the record before li-ion battery upgrade?
@gray25xt
@gray25xt 4 месяца назад
77.0 on a nearly dead NiMH battery vs. 80.8 on a fresh Li battery. The large majority of mpg improvement comes from the driver.

Do you check the math at fill up? Both my cars are almost always optimistic by 2-3 mpg...

@gray25xt 4 месяца назад
I do it's optimistic like you say but comparing using the digital computation is a controlled variable whereas trying to make sure the gas tank is exactly filled is not.

@gray25xt I have to say I disagree. Especially if you track the data (correctly), your calculated average will be much more accurate. Plus, the trend is really consistent so...

@@michaelsparrow8033 tell me how you can ensure that each time you physically fill up the gas tank it gets the exact amount of liters in there and therefore a constant data point and then you can say it is more accurate. It is impossible. It will always be a subjective moving target. Therefore when comparing one tank to another with different modifications like I am, the most objective fixed constant accurate data is the digital computation the car offers.

is this 82 calculated by filling the tank or is it lies from the trip computer

Cool! Now do the opposite, drive like a maniac and see how bad consumption it can make
