johnson@crocker.com is on a distinguished road
I filled the tank to the brim drove 150 miles, filled it to the brim again, drove another 150 filled it again to the brim again and divided 300 mi by the gallons it took. I am taking it very easy on the engine as it breaks in, never over 3500 rpm, mostly rural driving , maybe 10% city, but using lower gears to climb hills. I live at the top of a 1000 ft hill. So the average includes maybe 5 trips up and down over this interval. The tires are all at 44 psi, My Insight has trained mw well in how to get great mileage - from april to nov i will never drop below 70 mpg on any tank.
