But as I mentioned above, I don't count everything, because a lot of the costs, like registration and insurance, are simply a consequence of having a car. I'd be paying the same whether or not I drove those extra work miles.

Maintenance has also been really cheap. Other than oil changes, in 10 years I've replaced an O2 sensor, a wheel bearing, and brake pads: maybe $200 total. And of course I do all the work myself.
