You could probably join/organise a TT session with fellow insight drivers near your area. Share the driving experience... maybe it can help.

@tkingt

where do you stay ? TT means Teh Tarik... this is for owner to meet up together to share the joy or problem together. Sometimes your car problem maybe other able to give you suggestions.

@all Insight owner

I have update the Fuel consumption on 2nd post first page. Please do keep up the updates and share together whether is good or bad so other owner will know how to treat the insight better . Stay tuned for accessories section.

I'm not sure whether is this correct. Maybe other members can confirm this. To my experience, seldom drive the car like only drive 2 or 3 times in a week, eventually the petrol will drain out. When I did not drive for a week, my car did not reach the usual KM that I usually get.

By ON and OFF engine too many times, and park under the sun for long period of time like for a week or so, also will drain off the petrol. Since you are not facing this, so dont bother.

My fuel mileage is about the same as yours. Most of the time is below 500km for full tank. I'm able to hit above 500 if only I drive very slow and always keep the odometer green. To hit 600km, I am not sure how other member can achieve that, unless they always keep the odometer green.

To drive to hit above 500km will allow many cars to cut my queue and some car will honk at you or stare at you when they overtake you ... haha.

Ya .. is not easy.. especially when you are in city areas where there is frequent jam/ traffic lights. For those able to hit 600km, for sure that they did not stuck in a heavy traffic jam, have make sure that their tires pressure is correct and have maintain a smooth driving for that tank of petrol.

Its time to look at the Prius or the Prius C. Just normal driving can easily get 20km/l. That is the difference between Hybrid Synergy Drive vs IMA. Not here to flame, but that is the facts.
