EV Grin Time: Cost per mile for fuel

I just found out that the cost per KWh in this part of the country ranges from $0.08 non-peak to $0.10 peak (Puget Sound Energy). Let's do some fun math...

0.330 - 0.380 KWh/mi * $0.09/KWh = 3-4 cents a mile.

With a typical sedan of say, 20 MPG @ $2/gal => 2/20 = 10 cents a mile.

Cost is not a driver for me (pardon the pun), but it is cool to see that it costs less to fuel Electro than it does a "gasser". That makes driving an EV just that much more fun!
