Have had the car for three months and done 2500miles. I was working out today the running costs in that time compared to the cost of my previous car, a '06 SAAB 93 Turbo.
To date charge costs have been around c£90 (10p per kWh with Sainsbury's energy)
I have used around 120L of fuel at c£125
Making total running cost to date £215.
My previous car was managing around 225 miles per 60l tanks of fuel, so 2500 miles would have required 11.11111 etc, etc tanks of fuel.
So 666litre at an average of £1.03 over the period covered
I would have paid in the region of £686
A whopping £471 saving in one quarter!
This is not withstanding the saving in vehicle duty.
For me the relative cost of the PHEV is a no brainer!
