<nit> Actually, a "regular" Mustang has a 3.8 liter V6.  The GT, Cobra,
Bullitt and Mach1 have V8s. </nit>

There's a LOT of room for improvement, at least on the V6.  I currently
get around 20MPG in town, but I suspect with a few more modifications I
could probably get that to 25MPG.  Considering the cost, capacity,
performance and "cool factor" of a Mustang as compared to the Insight,
I'll take the 'Stang.

Now, if the Insight were less expensive, or less...  well, funky looking,
or got better than 50MPG, or all three, I might consider one.  If I had to
give up acceleration, throttle response and handling, though, I'd prefer
to go all electric.
