With 160K miles at, conservatively, 30 MPG avg. you’ve pumped in 5300 gallons of fuel. Over the last four years you’ve probably paid an average of $3.25/gal which means you’ve dropped more than $17,000 on fuel. That’s $360/month in gas alone. Wow!
I have a local customer that is almost 140K and no major repairs. just some brakes, lots of tires, a power steering pump, and a new set of control arm bushings just two weeks ago. the Int. look brand new! the paint is showing some wear in the front, but after a good buff and wax the car still shines nice.
I’m almost 100k less than you :)
Cross off the last digit, and it’s a close match to GPMINI ;)
I just can’t believe how much time you must spend commuting every day!

oddly enough, that sounds about right. I spend tooo much money on gas.
thanks for the breakdown Rainman ;)
Hey!! I love your blog and I’d love to exchange links with you!!
I clicked the “add me” link on the sidebar but the email address didn’t work.
Let me know!
xxxxx Christina and STELLA
PS: That’s a really interesting calculation about fuel costs! Oh wow! So expensive!
I have just about 20,000 kms on my STELLA. Far from what you have! Good luck on many more years of motoring :D
Linked up! Don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. Welcome to the dbmini.us sidebar ;)
