incorrect. idk the beginning mileage, but after the k swap it got 35mpg according to his banner at nopi-06. the insight before the swap had a lower number than that but idk what the exact number was.

The only Hondas truly made for performance are the S2K & NSX but that doesn't stop people from trying welcome to Honda-Tech

yeah because your VX/CX hatch was made with uberperformance in mind.

the car was made to be economical, just like the 92-95 'non Si' hatches, but that doesn't stop them. one thing about being economical is being lightweight, and the Insight wasn't too heavy stock, and less so when you rid of it of some safety equipment and add a K swap
