Yes, I know how hybrids work, Cobb. And you are right that he can find a 2012 Insight with 35,00-40,000 miles and in good condition from a dealer for under $15K too, as I found with the Civic HF in post #9. But the HF has comparable gearing on the freeway and I am sure he could put it over 50mpg with smart hypermiling and some low profile mods. And he would never have to be concerned with replacing or restoring the battery pack. So depending on the mix of driving he might have, the HF might be the better overall value. I'm just not sold yet on hybrids.
