Official FuelEconomy.gov estimate: $1,150/year — assumes 15,000 miles/year and EPA price assumptions. The figures above use your inputs instead.
Cost per mile vs. its segment (2026 Small Sport Utility Vehicle 2WD, 52 vehicles, default assumptions)
43% below the segment median — a measured energy-cost difference only.
