Well thought out analysis. My new Mirage is averaging about 56 mpg, which is about 3.2 cents per mile at current gas prices. It cost me $12,964 out the door including everything, but I do not have any solar capabilities to sell to the utility company.
It does seem dumb for a dealership to offer a test drive without the battery fully charged, but then I once owned a F350 car hauler that my business partner (at the time) borrowed and left the tank so empty it ran out of gas leaving me a 3 mile walk to the nearest station.
In 1976 the fuel tank was right behind the front seat, so from that day on I just reached back and disconnected the sending unit.
Next person who borrowed the truck came back and told me "I put ten bucks in the tank and the needle didn't move."
"I'll check it out" I told him, trying to not break out in laughter.
