Pence per mile?

[shake n bake]

So what's your car costing you? To make things fair from the off include road tax, repairs, fuel and monthly rentals. For those who own/paid for the car, take the depriciation if you were to trade the car in today.

To set things off our Zoe in the house would have cost 50p per mile, hence the reason why having a rented 2nd car isn't worth it for us!

[Mr E]

The Yaris is doing about 12p a mile in fuel. So, with tyres and insurance and depreciation, about 13p a mile.

Shame it's horrible.

The lotus is considerably more due to low annual mileage.

I don't even want to think about the merc as it's 500 quid a year to tax before you start.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

66ppm inc purchase price and 11299 miles 12.8 ppm Just fuel that's on a w203 320 diesel

[to3m]

£0.62/mile total for my 51 plate BMW 330d that I bought second hand in 2011. Don't know what its value is now, probably not very much, so I'll go with that figure as the total.

(£0.32/mile for fuel and repairs/consumables/regular servicing/etc. (basically the figure I use to decide if I make a profit from using the car for work). The remaining £0.30/mile is the fixed costs: tax, insurance, MOT fees, the car itself. That figure is a bit depressing if you don't drive much...)

astra 140 elite turbo on a 15000m lyear lease.

£460 plus 154.99 month (shouldnt need tyres may off lease before service due)
Plus fuel (43mpg) and insurance £217

I reckon works out at around 29ppm

[crofty1984]

The lotus was free, cost me 500 quid in parts and I've done no miles in it. Don't know if that's good or bad.

[MaxSo]

Leased DS3 cost 26p over 15000 miles.

[spookly]

Leased Golf R Estate (2yr 20k miles): 59p/mile
Fuel: ~24p/mile
Insurance: ~3.5p/mile
Servicing/tyres (estimate): 3p/mile

No other costs.

Total: ~90p/mile

[kambites]

My Elise is on 63p per mile total cost of ownership, which isn't too bad for a car doing ~2500 miles a year. It works out pretty evenly split between fuel, insurance, maintenance and "everything else".

I'm not really sure on my E Class, it cost me £4k with 104k on the clock. Probably still worth around the same money a year later and does about 38mpg on average (3.2 diesel). I've never really done the maths on that one.

I did work out that on my CLS63, which I bought with low miles but at 8 years old had cost around £3.30 per mile in depreciation alone from it's new price!

[romeogolf]

48-month PCP
Deposit £2500
Monthlies of £367 x 48 £17,616

VED
£35 x 4 £140

Repairs
4 x tyres per year £1600
4-yr service plan at £40 per month £1920

Fuel
Diesel @ £1.10/L @ 55mpg x 88,000 £8000

£31,776/ 88,000 miles= 36ppm

[JakeT]

29PPM currently excluding depreciation. Assuming a worst case of it being worth £1100 it's 37PPM.

[Jonno02]

30ppm on a leased Cupra 290 black edition.

[Plinth]

I don't do much mileage, so my cost per mile is high.
However, my cost per week/month/year is quite low.

[Cookeh]

1.4 Corolla is costing me ~£0.14 pm (£0.10 in fuel). Not bad, pretty handy for a first/student car and considering it's doing about 14k a year... That will probably change substantially when I swap to a big heavy 20 year old Jeep.

[Al U]

2016 Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC Sport on a 2 year lease (25k per annum maintained)

Initial rental = £2160
Monthly = £240
Fuel = £48 per week roughly.
Servicing, brakes & tyres = Included in lease cost.
MOT = N/A due to car age
Road Tax = Included in lease cost.

Assuming that I do not go over the mileage which I doubt I will =

(2160 + (240 x 23) + (48 x 52))/25000 = 40.7p per mile

That actually sounds pretty steep, but I do a lot of mileage in a brand new car and the place I drive to pays me around £8 per hour more than I could get elsewhere.

There are definitely cheaper ways to do that much mileage but I decided to treat myself to a new car after working hard and making compromises for the past few years to get on the housing ladder.

[Monty Python]

I'd estimate my 335d is running around 62ppm.

[Prof Prolapse]

2005 Lexus GS300

-£2,860 fuel @ 110p/litre,
-£600 insurance (business use)
-£280 tax
-£500 depreciation
-£50 MOT
-£70 reversing camera
-£300 service @ Lexus

= 33ppm

I get repaid 45ppm + 290/month so not doing too badly so far! We'll see what 2017 brings, already had a new set of tyres at £350, and due a big Lexus service.
