LPG, hybrid or electric: which taxi car costs the least
Fuel is a driver’s biggest cost after fees. We compare three popular options for city work — no marketing.
In short
- LPG: cheap fuel — in the calculator ≈ 40 zł per 100 km.
- Hybrid: uses least in traffic and always gets into the SCT.
- Electric: the cheapest kilometre when charging at home, but charging needs planning.
01The comparison in short
| Drive | Pros | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol + LPG | cheap per km, easy refuelling | LPG kit servicing, older cars may not enter the SCT |
| Hybrid | low city consumption, quiet, SCT-compliant | higher car or rental price |
| Electric | cheapest per km with your own charging | charging time during shifts, charger availability |
02How to work out your cost
Take the average consumption from the trip computer and the fuel price. LPG example from the calculator: 1,000 km a week × 0.40 zł ≈ 400 zł. Compare with renting a hybrid — sometimes a pricier rental pays for itself in fuel.
03What to choose
Simple pointers:
- lots of central Warsaw driving — hybrid or electric
- lots of driving outside the centre on a budget — LPG in a compliant car
- just starting — rent to try it without buying
?Questions
Can I compare drives in the calculator?
The calculator uses LPG fuel costs. For a hybrid or EV, ask your manager for an exact calculation.
