    @Ioniq Not true that the charging costs are miniscule in my case, and I suspect others. My costs over the last 479 miles were £40.75 petrol and £17.83 charging (multiple charges). Only by taking both into account do you get accurate running costs. To go by what the fuel computer says (which most PHEV drivers seem to do) is just kidding yourself and is not reality.

    Also, re petrol SUVs, I’ve just handed back a 2.0i petrol BMW X1 4WD auto that averaged 42.1 mpg over 3 years and 36,000 miles. On a run on the motorway it could easily do 50 mpg. In fact, the fuel economy was far better than the 2.0 diesel VW Tiguan that it replaced!
