# LPG at 8 L/100 km versus the project Tesla: near-equal energy costs at 12,000 km/year



For the same 12,000 km, fuel costs about €604.80, compared with €617.22 using the project Tesla’s recorded electricity cost. The difference is about €1 a month, too small for a convincing decision on fuel alone. A small change in price, consumption or charging mix can reverse the result.

| Fuel / energy price | 0.63 €/L |

## Assumptions

- 8 L/100 km and 12,000 km over one year. The distance is illustrative, not a particular owner’s driving history.

- Fuelo, checked 21 October 2026: €0.63/L. This is a published price reference, not a quote from a specific filling station.

- Tesla: public diary from 21 August to 21 October 2026, 3,073 km and €158.06 electricity. Projection uses the unrounded cost per kilometre.

- Fuel and electricity only, over the same distance. Tax, maintenance, repairs, insurance, purchase and resale are excluded.

- The combustion car’s consumption is a selected comparison assumption, not a measurement or official figure for a particular model.

## One real Tesla, not a brand average

| Distance behind the source | 3073 km |

The recorded electricity cost is scaled to the selected distance. Other selected diary expenses are counted once.

The route and charging habits belong to the project car. They do not predict every Tesla’s costs.

## What could change the answer?

One Tesla’s two-month diary is not a yearly average for all EVs. One charging session contains estimated data. Winter, speed and a different public-charging mix can change cost per kilometre. The AC/DC slider here changes the time estimate, not recorded electricity cost. This is not a purchase-payback calculation. Petrol used for starting or supplementary fuelling on LPG is excluded; actual petrol use increases the LPG car’s costs.
