Also, have you modified it at all, or are those the MPG figures from the factory?

Well, I know there are tweaks to the battery system that can boost the milage on some hybrids (not sure about the insight, though)
So how does that tire pressure effect how the car drives? It seems like it might effect the handling and possibly wear the tires out faster. Or does it use some special tire?

The tires are low rolling resistance tires by Bridgestone. At 55 PSI they're a little hard but tire wear is better then at low pressure and it handles decently.
