Understanding Your Running Costs

Vehicle ownership involves more than just fuel. Insurance, maintenance, servicing, tyres, and road tax all add up. Understanding these costs helps you budget properly and choose the right car.

Fuel Economy & Costs

Modern fuel prices average 130-150p per litre. A 50 mpg diesel costs around 3p per mile. A 35 mpg petrol costs 4.5p per mile. Electric cars cost 3-4p per mile for electricity.

Servicing & Maintenance

Budget GBP 1,000–GBP 2,500 annually for servicing and maintenance depending on vehicle age and brand. Newer cars cost less; luxury brands cost significantly more. Following manufacturer schedules prevents expensive repairs.
