The Honda Insight has a small pack of nickel-metal-hydride batteries that is stored under the trunk floor. Honda says lithium-ion batteries aren’t yet a viable option. Official fuel-economy ratings have yet to be released but some Honda sources suggest that the fuel economy will be in over 40 mpg in the city and 45 on the highway. Here are some preliminary specs below brought to you by Proctor Honda in Tallahassee.
