The cost of petrol in Canada meets the figures quoted in the parent post. Gasoline is about $1.30/liter around major metros in Canada; a Toyota Corolla gets about 5.7 km per liter (highway). 800km would consume about 140 liters of petrol, about CAD182.


> a Toyota Corolla gets about 5.7 km per liter (highway).

This article lists it as[0]: 4.9 L/100 km on the highway.

That's $52 Canadian, not $182 Canadia. I'm pretty sure that 5.77 km/liter figure you're quoting is 100 km/liter making your figure off by a huge amount.

Indeed, I just grabbed the first search engine result, which must have been wrong.

Here's the Toyota source: http://www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/vehicles/corolla/specificatio...

For the lowest model, for highway mileage, it's 6.5L/100km. CAD67 for an 800km highway trip. That is great gas mileage!

I'm still wrong. Even for a Ford F150, which gets 9.6L/100km, it's still only about CAD100 for the trip.


According to the US EPA, a Corolla gets about 30mpg, which Google tells me is 12.75 kpl.


You won't get 200 km per charge in Canadian winter. Merely half of that.
