Highest-mileage list has surprises
 No wonder that hyper-milers like Louis Hudgin of Gilbert, Ariz., were driving old cars like Hudgin's 2001 Honda Insight when we interviewed them a couple years ago.

Re: Highest-mileage list has surprises
My 2000 Honda Insight currently has a lifeteme miles per gallon of 87. I've been waiting years for a replacement to come out that would best its mileage. Considering my car is 10years old you think that would not be a problem.

Each car is only listed once regardless of year.
Insight I and Insight II are two completely different cars.
