Have had a play with this: http://car-costs.parkers.co.uk/
Seems handy and it's estimate of my current car's overall costs seems to be pretty close to what I'm actually getting.
Not sure where all the data comes from but takes into account estimated fuel, depreciation, tax, maintenance and servicing. You can take into account purchase price and loan interest if you desire. Falls apart a bit for cars older than 9 years but for newer stuff seems good.
May be an 'objective' answer to all those "should my girlfriend get a diesel for the empeejees - she's doing 5k a year" threads...
