I'm still hanging on above 80 mpg. It was as high as 82.7, but I'm back down to 82.2. I still have two bars left on the gas gauge and am somewhere around 750-775 miles.
Unfortunately the Insight will be parked for a week while I test drive an RX 400h, so I won't finish the tank for approximately another 1.5 weeks.
I'll give an update then.

Even better (and more beautiful) than the run-of-the-mill "trophy wife".

I can see it now, new lines:
"Wow, you you have beautiful eyes, but do you hypermile?"

I think that's a valid question. It should certainly be brought up during pre-marital discussions.
