Calculation Methodology & Evidence Provenance

Gasoline Consumption

Gas costs are modeled strictly as (Annual km / 100) × L/100km × Gas Price. Ratings reflect official NRCan laboratory 5-cycle combined ratings.

Wall-to-Wheel Electricity

PHEV electric draw uses wall-to-wheel kWh/100km (including 15-20% onboard charger conversion losses) rather than naive battery-side capacity, ensuring full billing accuracy.
