Thanks to this thread I just created a new Excel spreadsheet that includes all my expenses to date for the ownership of my Geo Metro. This includes the purchase price, insurance, registration, fuel, and maintenance. After crunching the numbers (some numbers were estimated since I don't have the receipts), my first 29,000 miles have cost me $0.1575 per mile. Not bad really considering gas is $1880 and I paid $1300 for the car. I've spent about $1386 on FE upgrades and repairs and maintenance. That includes new tires, 6 oil changes, a new passenger side axle, new trans axle seal, and 2 trans fluid changes. If you look at actual maintenance and repairs, I've only spent $632 in the first 29,000 miles of ownership. I'll be changing my timing belt shortly. And in the next 6 months probably have to rebuild the motor and will be upgrading the head in the process to make it better and more fuel efficient.
