Who needs a just-replaced IMA battery? I bought my 2000 Insight in '03 or '04, paid $8500, and have driven it about 140K miles since, at an average 71.2 mpg. So that's 1966 gallons of gas, or (figuring an average $3/gal over the period) $5899. Few other cars would have gotten even half that mpg, so figure I've saved at least $5K, and I'm still driving the car, with the original IMA battery.
