What's the effective MPG using it the way you do?

robryan Nov 30, 2017 View on HN

Electric cars might do better on that mileage rate?

What kind of MPG does that get?

sliverstorm Mar 11, 2010 View on HN

Interesting, they assume you get 20mpg. Does the fact that I get 50+ change my impact, per miles driven? Apparently not.

Not very informative without normalization by miles driven.

LargoLasskhyfv Oct 9, 2020 View on HN

I wonder what the difference in MPG is?

ScottBurson Aug 6, 2018 View on HN

Yes, it's right up there with miles per gallon.

It's an electric car, so no oil consumption (parent talks bout mpg)

pistle Feb 12, 2014 View on HN

What kind of mpg or kmpg do you get with that thing?

lmz Jan 19, 2025 View on HN

That's high fuel economy, but low fuel consumption.
