Petrol vs EV Running Costs Manchester | Which Is Cheaper in 2026?

Feeling the pinch at the pump in Manchester?

With petrol around 159.7p per litre, a typical petrol car doing 40mpg can cost roughly £18 per 100 miles.

Compare that with:

Hybrid at 60mpg: around £12 per 100 miles
EV charged at home: around £7 per 100 miles
EV on public rapid charging: around £23 per 100 miles

So if you can charge at home, an EV can make a big difference. If you do mixed driving, a hybrid can still cut fuel costs without fully switching to electric.
