The "Insight" was rather "unsightly" and felt like a tin can, but man o man, I was getting 95 MPG out of mine when commuting 200 miles a day a few times a week...and I got reimbursed for mileage...so I ended making $180 a day in reimbursement and paid $6 a day in gas.
Of course, for me it was nothing but a tool, and some tools are pretty damn ugly, but as soon as my commute went down to 4 miles a day I sold it to a dude with a similar situation...company paid for his insane commute in mileage. So...16 months and 69K miles later I sold it for exactly what I paid for it. I figure that's 69K I didn't put on my Colorado...so when all was said and done, that ugly-ass insight saved me around $4000 in depreciation, $2500 in gas, and made me a few grand in mileage reimbursements.
Ugly, yes. Money-saver, hells yeah.
