Now an ecoboost F150 will pretty easily go 160 miles on 6.4 gallons of $3.50 per gallon unleaded or $22.40.

A friend at the time, who lives at Lake Nacimiento, California was paying $7.00/gallon for his Tahoe, Corvette, and Harley.
With PG&E home charging, a Rivian owner might be looking at a completely different calculus with respect to 'fueling' cost, compared to TFL cars.com.'s experience.
AeroStealth's EcoBoost F-150 only averages around 18-mpg as a daily driver.
And for 50-weeks out of the year, El Paso Electric is selling him off-peak kWhs for 8-hours a night, @ 4.7-cents to home-charge his BOLT.
