Follow on Google News | Alternative Fuel Vehicles: Your Driving Cost Will Vary Depending Upon Where You LiveAlternative Fuel Costs Vary Dramatically Across the Nation - Pico-Car.Com Can Help You Sort Out Driving Costs of Alternative Fuel Vehicles
By: Pico-Car While the price of gasoline varies 26% across the nation ($3.43-$4.33 per gallon), the price of CNG varies 400% ($0.85-$4.25 per gge) and the residential incremental price of electricity varies at least by 500% (6¢-36¢ per Kwh). As a result, fuel economies claimed by manufacturers may have little to do with realities for the consumers. Just as some consumers in northern California are installing expensive solar cells to alleviate exorbitant incremental electricity pricing, one electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla Motors Inc., claims, " ...it will cost you roughly 1 cent per mile to drive the Tesla Roadster." Consumers are highly unlikely to achieve the claimed electrical vehicle driving costs. Consumers need to know the actual driving costs of alternative fuel vehicles before they invest tens of thousands of dollars into one.
