Fuel Savings Estimator
With gas prices fluctuating across Canada, understanding your vehicle's fuel efficiency is more important than ever. Our fuel savings estimator allows you to directly compare two vehicles to see exactly how much you could save at the pump over time. By inputting your annual mileage and current local fuel prices, you can visualize the financial benefits of switching from a gas-heavy vehicle to a more efficient hybrid or electric alternative. These savings often add up to thousands of dollars over a few years, effectively offsetting a higher monthly car payment. Use this tool to make a data-driven decision about your next vehicle purchase and see how much your current "gas-guzzler" is really costing you compared to modern, fuel-efficient options.

Thinking Electric?
The average EV in Canada uses about 18-20 kWh/100km. At an average electricity cost of $0.14/kWh, your "fuel" cost would be roughly $2.80 per 100km—compared to $19.80 for your current car.
Compare EV vs GasFrequently Asked Questions
How do I find my car's official fuel economy rating?
You can find official fuel consumption ratings for vehicles sold in Canada through the Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Fuel Consumption Ratings Search tool. These ratings provide standardized city, highway, and combined L/100km figures for almost every model.
Is the fuel savings worth the extra cost of a hybrid?
Generally, yes—especially if you do a lot of city driving or have a long commute. While hybrids often have a higher purchase price, the fuel savings typically allow you to "break even" within 3 to 5 years. Additionally, hybrids often have higher resale values, further improving the total financial picture.
