Also, you can limp the hybrid battery in the insight with a daily/weekly/monthly charge to save up the money for a new battery. My insight throws the IMA light if it sits for more than 4 days, and I have to charge it once a month to keep it from losing capacity. However, I have a feeling it will last me another year like this, and I should be able to save the money up for a new battery by then. 1875$. The new battery will probably last about 10 years and save me somewhere in the ballpark of 5-6k on fuel (compared to 30mpg in a Camry at 20k miles a year or something).
