What it costs to fuel

Across its configurations, the 2016 i-MiEV costs about $700 to $700 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $700. Over five years that is about $3,500 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.

Relative to an average new vehicle, the most efficient i-MiEV configuration saves about $8,000 in fuel over five years; less efficient versions spend more.

For context, the average combined economy of subcompact cars in this dataset is about 27 MPGe. The i-MiEV sits roughly 85 MPGe above that mark at its midpoint, making it more efficient than average for its EPA class.
