Here is something else to think about. It's not just about dollars and cents. We are wrecking the planet with carbon emissions. You are a complete .1% outlier with your 70 mpg Insight. Most people choose cars that struggle to break 30 mpg. Why wouldn't they. Gas is $2 gallon in the USA. People will never choose to act until they are forced. And you can't MAKE the automaker sell them something they don't want.

Put gas up to $8 and figure a more common state of the art Prius at 40 mpg and see if you want to plug in.
