Actual E30 Operating Costs

[parera]

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 !

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

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!

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