Expert Quotes:

40 mpg city, 43 highway
U.S. EPA

Our Insight has been averaging about 38 mpg so far, putting it between the Civic Hybrid at 37 mpg overall and our current mileage champ, the outgoing Prius, at 44 mpg
Consumer Reports




The Honda Insight was conceived as a vehicle that would be a unique body style, like the Toyota Prius, but a bit more affordable with the lower costs associated with Honda's IMA mild-hybrid system. Unfortunately, the Insight has ended up living in the shadow of the Prius—and this is an area of the market where fuel-economy numbers mean everything.

With EPA ratings of 40 mpg city, 43 highway, the Insight isn't nearly as fuel-efficient as the first-generation Insight two-seater, or as the Toyota Prius, which sports ratings of 51/48. But after the Prius, the Insight is tied with Honda's own Civic Hybrid for the runner-up position for 2011.

Conclusion

The 2011 Honda Insight's 40+ mpg ratings make it one of the greenest vehicles on the market—but it trails the Prius by a distance.
