Well, technically it still has an ICE, so it's still burning fossil fuel.

For me, the main argument in my decision to purchase an Insight was the monetary savings. For me, it was worth it just to have a car with air, that also got better mileage. I love the car, though, it's really unique and drives great, but you're probably not going to break even unless the Sentra up and died and the Insight kept ticking. However, by that point, you're probably going to be putting another battery in the Insight, which isn't cheap in any case.
