Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo
What it costs to keep fuelled
$623a year, fuel only
The 2026 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is EPA-rated at 77 MPGe combined (79 city / 75 highway). Over 15,000 miles a year that is about 195 gallons, $623 a year in fuel, or $0.042 per mile at $3.20/gal.
Across its full 2021–2026 run it averages 75 MPGe, improving by 4 MPGe over 6 model years.
The band is how far one gallon-equivalent of energy carries it: 77 of the 80 MPGe this scale runs to. The square tick is the midsize cars average, 27.0.

How this is worked out
- Start from the EPA combined figure for the model year — a laboratory test cycle run to a fixed procedure, not a road result. Where a year sold several engines or drivetrains, the trims are averaged and the trim count is printed beside the row so you can see how much averaging is behind it.
- Fix a pump price. This site keeps one reference price, $3.20 a US gallon, fixed JUL 2026 and printed next to every dollar figure it produces. It is an assumption with a date on it, not a quote — put your own price in.
- Fix an annual distance. Every annual figure on this site uses 15,000 miles a year, roughly the US average. A cost per year with no stated distance is not a number, it is a mood.
- Divide distance by economy for gallons, multiply by price for the year's fuel, divide price by economy for one mile. The per-kilometre line is that last figure divided by 1.609344 — the same money, in the unit most of the world drives in.
- Stop there. No depreciation, no tyres, no insurance, no servicing. This is the fuel line of the ledger and it is labelled as one; depreciation usually dwarfs everything on it.
gallons/yr = miles/yr ÷ MPG fuel $/yr = gallons/yr × $/gal cost $/mi = $/gal ÷ MPG cost $/km = cost $/mi ÷ 1.609344

Re-run the ledger at another pump price
Every line above rests on one pump price. Here is the same entry re-costed at six others, because the price is the part that changes while the test sheet stays put.
| Fuel price | Per mile | 10,000 mi/yr | 15,000 mi/yr | 20,000 mi/yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2.50/gal | $0.032 | $325 | $487 | $649 |
| $3.00/gal | $0.039 | $390 | $584 | $779 |
| $3.20/gal | $0.042 | $416 | $623 | $831 |
| $3.50/gal | $0.045 | $455 | $682 | $909 |

| $5.00/gal | $0.065 | $649 | $974 | $1299 |
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.
