hmmm..

Wonder what the cost is?
My Mazda P5 gets ~30mpg, if I assume $2.75/gal, fuel costs for the first 100K mi is ~$8300.

For the Leaf, 1st 100K mi's cost just over $3000, if you assume $3/100mi.

If you never had to replace the batt, and fuel cost stayed same, and repairs were ~ same, it would only save ~$10K over the life of the car. My mazda cost $16K new.
the Leaf needs to come in around Prius prices (mid/low 20's) to have a chance in the market IMO.
