Humm... Unless I've missed a decimal, that's more spent on gas in one year than in the dozen years I've owned the Insight. 140K miles @ 70 mpg = 2000 gallons. At $4/gal, $8000, no?

I'd say my lifetime repair spending is about one year of your Jeep too, but it's kind of apples to oranges since I do all my own work, and live in a state where the only inspection needed is a yearly smog check.
