No meaningful analysis, just some comparisons: according to the article, the cost is £.07 per mile. 1500/.07 is £105 per refuel, or $135 USD at the current exchange rate. (they seem to base this on the apprx cost for British motorists, while they seem to base the fuel economy on a car similar in size to a Tesla 3, so I'm not sure that really works out) In the US, it costs between $0.12 and $0.14 per mile in fuel to drive a BMW 5 series (25mpg at 3.00 to 3.50 per gallon) and about $0.08 per mile to in fuel to drive a Honda Civic (38mpg at $3.00 per gallon) According to the Federal Highway Administration, the average American drives 13,476 miles per year, so each decrease per penny of fuel cost per mile represents about $135 with these metrics. And on a final note-- we should stop marketing miles per gallon and start measuring cost per mile or or gallons per (100)mile(s) -- it shows the relationship between the actual economy gains (fuel consumption) in a much more intuitive way across the range of available fuel economies. The EPA started mandating that 'savings' be included on the fuel economy sticker,but that is not a widely recognized metric in marketing or common speech. Remember kids, a number and its inverse have a curvilinear relationship, not a linear one. For fuel economy, with the current range of available vehicles the point where the graph bottoms out is just past 35mpg. The steepest meaningful jump is from about 15mpg to about 20mpg.
