.....The Honda Insight is a Hybrid meaning it needs fuel and also runs off electricity. Feul needs to be regular unleaded. The transition from gas to electric and back does not feel as smooth or seamless as the Prius. Since the Insight is a Hybrid it runs on hydride battery packs. These batterys are stored below the cargo floor between the rear wheels. They are cooled by the the air-cooling system. It has a 580 watt-power. The Insight batteries are recharged with both spare engine power and regenerative braking. Also its accelerator connects to an electronic sensor rather than cable. media type="youtube" key="oKgY6AFSR38?rel=0" height="510" width="853"

.....The design was loosly based on the Honda Fit, but it is 3 inches longer and 1 inch wider.

.....There is an ECON botton that helps aid in optimizing your feul effiency. The speed-ometer also changes from blue(not eco-friendly) to blue-green(somewhat better) to green(eco-friendly).
