I missed those so sounds like a good choice then and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

43-48 on a run To be honest I’ve stopped charging mine as fuel was so cheap it was the same price to charge it and use electric as to use on the ice that was achieving the mpg it was for the run I was doing. My commute is 60 miles round trip. |

I did some simple maths (which admittedly is not my strong point) but I can't get anywhere near similar costs. Seems my car costs about £1.80 a charge (on a standard non-ToU tariff at the moment), and say I get 25 miles, thats 7.2p a mile. Even in the coldest recent days I would get around 20 miles from a full charge, so 9p a mile. Unleaded on average is say £117.7p/litre (according to Google, not bought any for ages so not entirely sure). Assume 40mpg, thats 13p a mile. I think.

We were having fuel around 107/l and I worked out it was saving me 40p per day which wasn’t worth the hassle. Have to admit that now it’s back up to 120/l I should probs re visit it! |

Not really. With no battery charge the “overboost” is unavailable and there’s a lot of dead weight to carry about. If you can’t charge regularly there’s no point other than for BIK reasons. If you can charge it’s great.

330e is a fab car on electric and around town you would save hundreds of pounds every year. My issue is the length of my commute and no charging facility at work - if I did have I’d be raking it in as it would get there and back on electric (nearly). When I do any town driving I always try to charge as it gets 90MPG+ rather than 30 odd.

Just need to try not to fall into the common mindset that electric miles are free miles. It still costs to charge it up (unless you can charge for free at work obviously). The cost of your 20-25 electric miles are probably roughly equivilent to 10-15 ICE miles... so the 90+ MPG is a little misleading if you are using that to judge how much it'll cost to run.
(based on 40mpg @ 118p a litre)

For my the reasons for mostly going for 330e compare to 320d is the massive BIK difference and I can see the difference is greater if you are a 40% tax payer!! I will be happy if I can get 40mpg ++ during the working week ( doing 50-100 miles) on motorway.... I plan to charge the car using our local Tesco to drive the car on electric over the weekend which hopefully will improve my overall mpg.... With my current driving style I currently get 53mpg on a Mondeo..... Can’t wait for Aug when I get my car...excited and nervous at the same time lol.. |
