Insurance Cost per bhp

[omgus]

Right an idea i had from the TV&S forum, and it surprised me how much some people are paying in terms of £/bhp,

So here is my post that started it.

Poor lad on forum said:

yes ha bloody ha. my premium is £1500 with me driving for 1yr with 1yr ncb.

Thats £21.43/bhp.

Ok lads, new game how much do you pay per bhp?

Focus ST170 = £4.12/bhp
Scooby (at is best recently, roughly 300bhp) = £2.20/bhp

And Scooby (projected 340) = £1.94/bhp.

So who pays the most per BHP and who the least?

750i: £291 for what should be 295bhp, but twenty years and nearly 130k miles on turns out to be 279 horses still in residence.

98.6 pence/bhp using factory figures, £1.04/bhp using recently measured ones.

323i: £580 for a factory quoted 170bhp, not yet dyno'd, so £3.41/bhp. That's what you get for adding The Wife to a policy it seems

Household average of £1.87/bhp.

My stbox shogun costs 11 times what my Impreza does, per bhp

Perhaps because Shoguns are stolen far more than Subarus. A quick look around your local campsite would tend to support that logic...
