I’m not sure how much I’d trust their results. I plugged in the info for a trip from San Diego, CA to Cincinnati, OH (about 2400 miles) and checked the cost using our Honda Civic Hybrid. They calculated a cost of $91 – which isn’t far from my figures (2400 miles@43mpg=55 gallons, at a little less than $2/gallon, somewhere in the ballpark of $100) Then I tried with my Delorean. Since it wasn’t in their database, they let me enter the values for it. I put in 18mpg, and they calculated a cost of $114 for the same trip. When I divide 18mpg into 2400 miles, I get 133 gallons to take the trip in the D, well over double the need of the hybrid, yet the cost is only 20% higher? Something doesn’t add up in their calculations. Check their math before you rely on their numbers too much.
