Actual E30 Operating Costs

[Vtec?lol]

I seriously feel horrible for anyone paying more than $800 a year for FC insurance on an e30

[Thizzelle]

people keep track of this stuff.......wow

[blunttech]

bases strictly on miles?

$0.13 per mile for the e30
My F150 is double that at $0.27 per mile
Wife's GX isn't far behind at $0.24

Sans insurance, tire wear.

My race car was something like $7 per mile!

replacing passenger fenders/passenger doors and passenger quarter panels is expensive

Off the top of my head and ballparking it, I'm guessing Klaus is at about $3/mile; Lola is at about $4.

I can't even think about how much I spent in fuel, in France, It cost between 1.55€ to 1.80€ per liter, means about 8-9$ per gallon, needless to say that driving an e30 here is expensive !

[AwakenNoMore]

I don't calculate this stuff. All I know is this car has been good to me compared to my last one.

[TurboJake]

Days owned: 4396ish
Insurance/Reg costs over that time: $4464
Purchase Price: $1000
Total spent on maintenence: $1500ish
Total spent on goodies: $600ish
Average mileage: 26mpg @ 25 miles per day.

Sooo... $1.41, plus $2.88 @ $3 per gallon per day.

Per mile driven, not including fuel: $.029. Including fuel: $0.14

Roughly.

On my last e30 I had cost down around $.22/mile.

4 yrs ownership. 50k miles. About 11k in cost, almost all of which is gas, insurance and registration.

I probably have one of the worst cost per mile. I bought my car on craigslist for $600 november last year. $4500 in parts later:

Total days owned: 378
Total miles traveled: 250
Gallons of fuel used: 10
Total cost of ownership: $5100

27 MPG overall
$20.4 cost per mile

More miles = amortization.

Well, since my odometer has never worked, I'm at #DIV/0!. Do I win?

Yes, if life were a game of Hearts.
