Although the petroleum industry has sharply dropped its prices, there is no guarantee that the prices will stay where they are. The new hybrids gas milage is not any better after the first 40 miles. If you don’t have a plug in hybrid there is no financial benefits.

The new way to figure the cost to operate your auto is not miles per gallon but to figure the cost per mile.

For example:

1. The national average shows you $0.12 per mile for a gas, IC (internal combustion) car.

2. The plug in pure electric vehicle, (not a hybrid) with range of 100 miles gives you $ 0.03 to $0.06 per mile depending on the price per KW the electric company charges in your area. This means, in one month with a gas vehicle will cost you about  $75.00 compared to $37.50 for a 100% electric. Not counting the maintenance and repair. 

Gas car cost per month: $ 100.00 plus $ 75.00 total $175.00.
Plug in cost per month: $0.00 plus $37.50 total  37.50.
