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.

I reread this. Can u recalculate? ur method is very risky way of calculating. u should just fill it, reset the meter, drive a full tank, then fill it, and divide the number on the mile thingy with the gallons. If u drive 150 (whch i assume is half a tank) its not good math cuz the gas tank meter is not accurate. I hope your number is accurate. Since you owned an insight manual, i asume u know of those hybrid driving techs.
BTW why switch to fit? insite too slow or no radio or air conditioning making drive boring and hot
