/diy/ - Do It Yourself

have you guys figured out your expenses for driving?
always got to think hard about this

15 MPG with current fuel prices 2.50 a gallon
1 gallon for 15 miles 2.50/15=0.1666 (round up to 0.17)

$55 for 2 thousand miles gives me a healthy maintenance and tire budget
55/2000=0.0275 (round up to .03)

so I have $.20 a mile without including insurance or that this vehicle will ever need to be replaced
I get a good vehicle under 1 thousand $ that offers years of dependable service so adding $.02 is enough

insurance
$528 a year

so like $.22 a mile without insurance
with insurance more like $.34 a mile
