OK Not in the same mph performance league as the others on here which look great by the way.
But possibly the most economical car in UK. Est 150mpg in decent weather![eek](/inc/images/eek.gif)
Basically my faithful 105,000 mile Honda Insight with an upgraded Lithium-Ion battery and my own BMS fitted for 10x electric capacity. Running at about 110mpg+ in this freezing weather, incredible.

Can see it's a non-Type-R body...have you done anything to the suspension/brakes/chassis/gearbox?
