American Honda Motor Co., Inc., recently unveiled its all-new Insight, the first gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle available in North America. The Insight’s breakthrough environmental engineering conserves natural resources and produces ultra-low emissions. It is the first mass-produced gasoline-powered vehicle in history to achieve more than 70 mpg (the world’s best fuel economy for a gasoline-powered automobile). The Insight can travel 600-700 miles on a single tank of gasoline, significantly reducing the amount of money Americans spend on gas and cutting in half the number of visits to the pump.

The Insight is also the official pace car for this year’s NESEA Tour de Sol, the U.S. Electric Vehicle Championship, which caravans from New York City to Washington D.C. during clean air week, May 12-18.
