Let's see.

Estimates first:
Cost of car: $0/yr. I paid it off many many many years ago.
Insurance: $450/yr. I have low deductibles and probably need to go insurance shopping again.
Maintenance: $100/yr An average; I do most of my own work.
Tires, brakes, consumables: $100/yr average

Now, data taken from my fuel logs:
Fuel: $717.81 over the past 12 months.
Miles: 10077.4 miles.

Totals:
Total cost: $1317.81 (/ 365 = 3.6 dollars per day.)
Cost per mile: 131781 cents / 10077.4 = 13.08 cents/mile.
