Increase the hybrids, enhance the earth.
More is More
The whole idea behind the design of the Insight was to make hybrid technology accessible to a greater number of people. And more hybrids replacing conventional gas engine vehicles out on the road can only improve things for the environment.
To that end, the Insight was designed for excellent fuel economy [1], of course, but the goal was also practicality and affordability. With an EPA-estimated 43 mpg [1], the AT-PZEV-rated [2] Insight ranks as one of the more efficient cars out there.
Flower Power
EPA numbers are important, but the way you drive also affects the fuel economy [1] you achieve. The Insight features a remarkable new system that helps boost your efficiency and monitor your own driving habits to maximize your mpg for your driving conditions. It's called
Eco Assist [3] and it includes a green ECON button [3] that, when pressed, regulates certain vehicle functions to maximize efficiency. The system also features a real-time feedback system to help promote driver awareness of efficient driving habits on a daily and ongoing basis.
