    Yes. You are missing Maths.


    4.5 litres in a gallon.


    cost per gallon = 7.65


    Cost per mile then 0.14 euro.

    First off, your input figures are not good; and then your maths is absolutely bonkers. 55mpg is not typical, petrol is more like 1.80 a litre, 23c a unit for electricity is high and doesn't account for night rate.

    But the maths... jaysus, where to start.

    55mpg at 1.70 a litres - €7.73 a gallon - would be 14c a mile. Not a fraction of 1c as you have somehow got.

    New account to post maths my 8yr old would be embarrassed by.

    I'd expect they deleted it when the maths error was pointed out. Its quoted in my earlier post.
