I think I'm probably a big winner here with the Insight. Gas cost (at $4/gal, avg 71.2 mpg) 5.62 cents/mile. Oil is 2.5 quarts (admittedly the expensive 0W-20 synthetic stuff) every 7500 miles. Insurance runs just under $500/year for it and the Toyota pickup. Depreciation? Bought it used, 8 years ago come June. Cost $8500, collected a bit over $7K from the idiot who rear-ended me, so net cost about $185/year. (Even without the insurance recovery, that's only a bit over $1K/year, and I'm not planning on replacing it any time soon.)
