Watch the model year on these Insights. The 2000-2006 5 speed will easily give 70 mpg, and lmpgs of 60 or so. The 2010 – 2012 is a different beast , lots more room . bigger engine and 1,000 pounds heavier. 50 mpg on that car is pretty good. For a hyper miler its about 12 mpg shy of the 2010 Prius mpg’s, based on my comparison testing.

The Eco mode only works in the city, it will turn the engine off when you stop on a light or stop sign, you still running the fan but the a/c compressor wil be off,if you are in summer on hot Florida you end up leaving the Eco button off, 1 -2 minutes with out ac is not a pretty picture on a 94 degree day, you will get best mileage driving with the cruise control in the city, I do it most of the time and get 34-38 in the city, on the highway I can get easy 40-45 with the cruise control on, some times 50+

taying at legal speeds, and coasting when possible—are getting these remarkable results, with some help from the "econ" mode and the dashboard’s interactive color-coded feedback system.Tech Info

Obviously thats your biased opinion.
But the majority of hybris drivers, decide to buy a hybrid to save in gas, and to them, mpg is all that matters.

I have an insite 2010 and I get better fuel mileage when the econo button is off. I can average 42mpg and 40mpg with the econo on. The only thing I notice is the air conditioner turns off at a stop light with the econo on. Other than that, the econo button is useless. Driving styles will give you better MPG’s. I’m not sure what speed you have to drive to get 60mpg, but I can tell you, its is to slow for me at best.

i have a 2002 honda insite. i have all receipts and documentation. i get an AVERAGE of 68mpg—-(this is what the dash gauge reads…average mpg—city/highway—–but the reality is: i’m getting +750 miles per tank and that is with a gallon or so left in the tank. (tank size is 10.56 gal.) i keep it tuned, i speed every now and then—down hill……i get offers on the car all the time.
peace…

You guys are either crazy or you are all Honda car salesman. I have a 2010 insight and I always have it in eco mode. My light is green 90 percent of the time and I almost never use AC and my insight is getting 38 MPG !!! I think all this 60 MPG talk is just flat out lies !!!
