This is really a sibling or expansion to the furinkan/CarFuelConsumption page. This is long term thinking, about how much ownership will cost you over a few years.
Assumptions
- Five year calculation
- Driving 10,000km per year
- Getting car serviced every 12 months
- A full set of tyres, plus a spare-replacement every 45,000km (going by RACQ working), equating to one set in this 5yr period
- You need to pay for 4.5yrs of rego (assume you buy it with a bit left)
- You need to pay for 4.5yrs of CTP (assume you buy it with a bit left)

I did 11L/100km in the C200, higher than spec. Other values based on claimed consumption, then scaled |
