According to

http://www.greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/

Honda Insight has better mileage than Prius HSD (Honda: 62 MPG and Prius 48 MPG).

Could this be true?

Sure, why would you doubt it? It's a tiny 2 seater with no cargo room, no power, etc. It's truely a niche vehicle....but gets great gas mileage.

Of course it's true. The Honda Insight was built for the sole purpose of maximum gas mileage, without much other thought to other options customers might want in a car. It only seats two, has two doors, virtually no trunk space, and very few options to make it appealing...except for the gas mileage numbers. It could be a great commuter vehicle, but not good for much else.

Actually they were on sale. I first saw one at the London motor show about 6 years ago.

Last year I nearly bought a used one whilst waiting for the prius, but when we got to the salesroom, it was already sold.

Take a look on http://www.autoscout24.de there are currently 3 on sale
