done a bit of math. And this is based on ME and my 75 mile daily commute.

in a new 55mpg diesel astra I'd use 1.36 gallons
in a volt -40 miles and @35mpg I'd use 1 gallon.

so I'd save half a gallon a day or roughly £36 a month.

sadly the monthlies on the finance of a £32,000 ampera are a little more than £6 a month more than a £17k astra

for ME its just not viable.


but i can see how it may work for urban locked commuters as you say.
