Now, how much as your electric bill gone up due to charging the battery? I'm betting you are still ahead of the game as compared to a traditional IC car.

Oh yea, way ahead of the game.

In my area it costs 9.7 cents per Kwh, and according to that graph I used 198kwh to go 436 miles. That comes out to about $19.20 worth of energy (although it's probably less than that because I only charge the car on off-peak hours). So if you convert that to the equivalent of MPG @$3.80/gallon for regular fuel, I got the equivalent of 86 MPGs.
