Jeremy Clarkson takes the piss out of the Honda Insight

Where did you get that idea?  Even mild hybrids, which really are hybrids in name only, get a somewhat better fuel efficiency.

It doesn't totally cancel it out but it is not really that significant in the end.  There are comparable fuel efficiencies from conventional engines.

I don't think it even remotely cancels it out.  First of all, weight is much more of a factor in a city than on a highway when it comes to fuel economy.  However, it is in cities where true hybrids completely trounce non-hybrid cars in economy.

He writes like I froth.

As a result, I'm still the same man who dreams of running amok on the set of Mamma Mia! with a large-calibre machinegun.

I have that same exact dream.
