Well, electricity has gone up a bit. Can't see the difference in our bill, as the amount used by this car pales in comparison to our HVAC bills.

Rates have increased from 7.1 cents to 10.5 cents per KWH. So, now the trip home costs us 50.4 cents. That translates to about $11 a month. I think my first post stated the trip was 22 miles. It isn't; it is 22 minutes. Trip is just a tick over 18 miles. By contrast my 83 BMW 745i, which gets 24 mpg (ONLY if I keep my foot out of it, which I rarely do.... I am being generous here). I have to burn premium as I run 11 psi boost. Last fill up was $3.89. If I keep my foot out of it, it costs $2.91 to get home from the office, about 5.7 times as much.
I still drive the bimmer quite a bit, just because I like it.
