Installation is generally an additional $500 if you have an installer put it in, but if you have confidence and good skills you may opt to tackle it yourself.
Wow, that's A LOT of cash... I'm averaging just about 90MPG stock. Let's say that I get 80MPG, and this thing gives me 100MPG. At 16,000 miles per year, I'll save $116 per year, and that's not factoring in paying for electricity for charging.

It's cool, but it's not likely to pay for itself. I like the fact that my Insight will pay for itself in 3-4 years. I can't wait for these prices to come down!

I'd like to hear more about your results!
