I think 13° will be fine. A quick Google search shows city buses for sale with 8°-12° departure angles, so we'll have no problems on the road. Driveways should also be okay, I think.

A city bus is a poor example to use when considering an Insight. The wheelbase of an insight is 74.5 inches. The wheelbase of a city bus might be 300 inches, or more. And the length of the overhang on the bus is unknow, but on a percentage basis is much smaller than you are considering.
If it were me, I'd work the actual math and look over the conditions in which you will be driving. But then again, it is your material cost and time
