Fuel prices can be expensive and new research has highlighted owners of these popular cars are making massive savings on petrol costs. Fuel economy is worked out by estimating how much it would cost to fill a tank and then divide that by each mile a car can travel. This differs to vehicle...
All we need to do is divide 64.2mpg by the price of a gallon and we get running costs per mile of… 9.63 pence. Which means it’s almost two pence per mile cheaper to drive the EV. I’ll be honest, I thought the savings would be… bigger. You’re right to feel a little aggr...
