What is your cost per mile? My 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid is running at 9 cents per mile at current gas prices ($3.30 per gallon) and that is purely city driving. Maybe 6 cents per mile on the highway.

It's premium in an expensive gas area. $4.50+ a gallon easy. So .35/mile just for the gas. Brakes, oil, and tires also not cheap.

Sorry, I meant for the EV. Ten cents per mile of electricity costs is the cheapest I've seen, and it is often higher.

I guess in my example, that's about 5 cents/mile assuming 300 miles of range.

I get about 4mi/kWh and electricity is $0.10/kWh so approximately 2.5 cents per mile
