[P-hack]

I get about $0.02/mile in the leaf when I hypermile. Paid cash for the 2012 (got it for $13k, liability only), and it can do 0-60 2 seconds faster than a 92 sentra. It is pretty much cake. It isn't going to pay for itself anytime soon though. I bought a new metro once for about the same, it never paid for itself either, but the leaf has other options (i.e. house rooftop solar panel) that might be fun to explore. Good chance it will be worth more than I paid if gas goes back up to $4 or more. (fyi, at $2/gallon 40mpg=$0.05/mile)

Edit, there are numerous free charging stations about too, so...
