Wow, that's a little over 37 cents a mile TCO for a pretty long distance!
That happens to be almost exactly the same as my TCO per mile on Ron Burgundy, but I've only owned it seven months, lol!

For a true TCO you have to add in your oil changes, insurance costs, toys, and some other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. TCO is an eye-opener and most people can't handle seeing the true cost per mile, especially if they're paying on a car.

My current Insight Ron Burgundy cost 4500 bucks cash minus the 2500 bucks I sold Turtle for.

So 2,000 bucks plus 300 bucks to tag it up, a little over 400 bucks for gas, 420 for insurance (about 60 bucks a month for 7 months), 300 bucks for toys and two oil changes = 3,420 divided by the 9,115 miles I've driven it equals a little over 37 cents a mile TCO.
