If both have manual transmissions, we are talking about the difference between 43 and 53 MPG highway. Yes, that is 23%, but do you think that a single first-generation Insight still has a traction battery operating within specified parameters? FuelEconomy.gov says the hybrid would save $150 a year in fuel. How many times can you replace the battery for $3,000?

How many times would you need to?

The owner eventually said that this one is a DX and then said that it is a CX.
