You had me at āA new set of tires.ā I like the way you think. My bride, and most women canāt see or understand this coronation between gas/electric mpg, money, new cool stuff for the Jeep. Well said my brother in Jeep. Well saidYes, shorter urban trips and regular recharging. I stopped tracking fuel use well over a month ago because it remained consistent. Charging daily, running ~65 miles per day (when I drive it) the elec/gas mix yields fuel costs comparable to having a vehicle that yields a ~27mpg overall average. This is a significant $1300+ per year fuel savings with the current "lower" $4/gal gas....that's almost enough for a new set of tires.
What would skew this downward is if gas costs drop to $2/gal or I did longer drives where electric is a smaller percentage; doing a couple long highway trips my 4xe Rubi yielded 20.5mpg and 24mpg due to weather...still not bad at all for a 5000+lb brick on all terrain tires.
THX WINGS,Agreed - I canāt actually think of a single hybrid that gets 100+ miles on electric
Just found this - none do - the average one gets just under 28 miles of range
