Miles are limited to 1,000 to 60,000 a year and the price to $0.01 to $20.00; a value outside that is worked out at the nearest limit.

EPA test figures for 2025; the last column is the yearly fuel cost against the cheapest version. For plug-in hybrids the miles per gallon and the yearly figure are for driving on gasoline only; the file gives no blended cost, because it depends on how often the car is charged (range is gasoline plus electric; the electric-only range has its own column).

2025 Wrangler 4dr 4xe: on gasoline alone the agency's file gives $3,100 a year (15,000 miles); on electricity, 68 kWh per 100 miles at $0.15 per kWh comes to about $1,530 a year if all 15,000 miles were driven that way.
