The nice thing about current gas prices ($2.58/gal) is that at 70 mpg, my cost per mile (3.6 cents/mile) is equal to that of driving a Nissan Leaf and is cheaper than the 3.8 cent per mile figure given as the cost of operating a Chevy Volt in EV mode. And since I'm getting better than 70mpg, my cents per mile is lower than that of driving an EV. Before the recent drop is gas prices, I had to better 80mpg to match EV cost per mile rates.
