Totally zuuk. I'm waiting for my engine to blow up so I could either EV it or shoehorn a diesel in.
Small update, since I moved to UCLA I haven't really needed to drive much so I left the Insight at home and I have my Jeep with me. Its pretty sweet now, a tank of gas lasts me almost a month and a half since I can just walk to wherever. For those of you not on my FB, I drove back up home a weekend ago, and as a welcome back present, on the of the trees at the base of my driveway decided to go kamikaze and fall on the Insight. Thankfully it landed on one of its main branches so the Insight didn't suffer the full force of its wrath. But I now sport a snazzy 8" dent/crease in my hood, a crack in the drives side fender, a ton a scratches, AND my 4 month old windshield is toast again. Else, everything is fine.
