That's it? It has the electric assist, extreme light weight, ridiculously skinny tires, aerodynamic design, and that's all it can do? Considering the Corvette and Buick LeSabre get around 30 mpg on the highway, I'm quite unimpressed.
I'd be interested to see what kind of mileage you'd get from a conventional gas or especially diesel engine of comparable power in an Insight body, with the weight savings from removing the batteries and motor.
