Running cost at different fuel prices and mileages
The figure everyone actually wants, and the one the EPA does not publish — because it depends on a fuel price no agency will commit to.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2.50/gal | $0.022 | $216 | $323 | $431 |
| $3.00/gal | $0.026 | $259 | $388 | $517 |
| $3.20/gal | $0.028 | $276 | $414 | $552 |

This is an electric vehicle, so the EPA rates it in MPGe — the distance it travels on the energy equivalent of a gallon of petrol. The dollar figures above are a petrol-equivalent illustration only; charging at home is billed per kWh and is normally far cheaper. Treat the MPGe as an efficiency comparison, not a fuel bill.
