How much does your car cost you overall?

pretty easy to just keep the receipts, always buy petrol in multiples of 5 litres say, and top car up completely a few times a year, to make the mpg/mp£ calculation.

Although with such artificially high 2nd hand car prices, it is a good time to impress the Mrs with how buying some expensive gas guzzling man machine was a shrewd move.. just don’t repeat this if/when 2nd hand prices fall back in line

Our X3 cost us £0.37p / mile all in over 2 years , 25k miles, mainly due to spectacularly excellent depreciation in the current climate.

Swapping that to an ID.3 worse case projected costs (although I will assume the 5p/kWh for fuel) going by the GFV only is 38p/mile on a new car. If depreciation held at today’s craziness, it would be around 14p/mile based on 48k miles.

Ouch, your spending 200 a month on maintenance?

Just from the screenshot that's what it might look like but actually last month I bought 2 new tyres, this month I had them fitted and also bought new xenon bulbs and front door trims hence that cost for this month.

Otherwise the maintenance cost has been zero for ages.

:( 0.03/mi, amazing given that it is also a lovely car.

I have little track on what i spend on motoring these days. ~38MPG ave according to the OBC showing around 10k miles covered (reset when purchased) which is what, ~16.5ppm using the cheapest diesel.
 
Mine is costing me £40 for petrol plus the £250 pcp monthly. It's a 2 Series GC M2335i...

Mustang is at 63pence a mile. ($.87)

If I were to sell it today I'd actually make more than I paid for it (minus trade in of 10k so it's still costing me).

Used cars are insanely high here right now.
