Heh, driving slow in LA traffic is near suicidal.
Do the 17" wheels result in higher rolling resistance and air drag ?
Wow, just a couple feet to the front and the outcome would have been totally different for the worse.

The lower gas mileage (5-10 I have read) in the Insight is inexplicable given the lower HP. Perhaps, light footed driving will bring out the gas...

The top of the line Insight is $7K less than the Prius.
