Source snapshot 2026-10-05. Matching cohort: Midsize Cars · Regular Gasoline · Front-Wheel Drive · Hybrid. All configurations in this shared cohort are included; other configurations on the source pages are excluded. This is a comparison of this cohort, not the entire nameplates or retail trims.
| Vehicle | EPA combined consumption | Cost / mile | 12,000 mi / year | 5 years / 60,000 mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Camry | 46–51 US MPG | $0.07–$0.08 | $823.53–$913.04 | $4,117.65–$4,565.22 |
| Honda Accord | 44–44 US MPG | $0.08 | $954.55 | $4,772.73 |
How large is the energy-cost difference?
A minus B ranges from $-131.02 to $-41.50 per year, or $-655.08 to $-207.51 over five years. Positive means A costs more; negative means A costs less. If the range spans zero, the result depends on configuration. These bounds compare every included pairing, without declaring a winner from a best-case trim.
Method and limitations
Annual cost = miles ÷ combined US MPG × fuel price, or miles × kWh/100 mi ÷ 100 × electricity price. Regular/diesel $3.50/gal; premium $4.00/gal; electricity $0.17/kWh. Prices are illustrative, held fixed for five years, not current national averages. EPA wall-energy ratings include charging losses. EPA standardized ratings do not guarantee actual consumption. Costs exclude purchase price, financing, depreciation, insurance, maintenance, taxes and incentives.
