Update on mine, I just filled it up, last time was 29th of August, today is 21st of November, cost was £37.78 for 34 litres/7.48 gallons (it's only a small tank anyway) and I did 1490 miles in that time, plugging in every night and commuting to work 5 days a week, but not doing much else due to lockdown etc. That's 199.2 mpg.

One year later and it’s still my favourite car so far. Full charge gives us around 20 miles (gauge always says 26 fully charged) which is enough for most commutes. Petrol tank is laughably small though, and just a bit jarring when you see that range drop so quickly. This is very much a car designed for shorter commutes where you can rely on the battery alone or either to boost performance and help make that tank last a bit longer.
