Depends on how you look at it. I paid $8500 for a used Insight, they paid say $30-40K for a new SUV or pickup. Now maybe my math skills are a bit rusty, but it does seem that I don't need to worry much about pay back from gasoline savings.

Now figure that I've been driving that same Insight for 9 or 10 years now, while the raggers have bought a couple of new vehicles...
