I haven't sat down to add it all up in a while but in my fuel log note book I do keep track of every vehicle related cost and at one point in time figured between 22 and 26 cents per mile depending on if you figured the car had any value left.
Like Frank, I spend almost as much on insurance as I do on fuel and I thought my insurance was cheaper then any one else's, but I on the other hand buy new parts, a good handful of them from the dealership, because things like exhaust for Honda's have a life time warranty to the person who buys them and my civic vx is rust free so I figure spending a little extra to make it last another 200,000 miles might be worth it.
I should sit down and add it all up like I said, but just a guess would put my costs at around 20 cents per mile not including the cost of buying the car as every car I've owned I've broken even on or made profit by selling or being totaled by insurance.
