Total cost of driving
The sticker price is not the price.
A car costs what it costs to keep — fuel, charging, depreciation, the commute, the lease you didn't price against buying. MileGrade computes those decisions in the open, with every formula, source, and assumption printed next to the answer.
$3.19/gal ÷ 27 MPG combined
- Same miles, electric
- 4.9¢
- Difference over 12,000 mi/yr
- $835
At 3.5 mi/kWh and $0.17/kWh. Energy only — before depreciation, insurance, maintenance, or tires. Every input here is one you set yourself on the tool pages.
Every number is computed on the page. No stored averages standing in for your fuel price, your mileage, or your rate.
The assumptions are printed, not buried. If a figure depends on a rate or an average, it is shown as an input you can change.
Where a tool gives a letter grade, its cutoffs are published beside it. A grade you can't check is just a black box with an opinion.
