Questions people ask

What does a car cost to run per km?

Add a year's fuel, maintenance, insurance, tax and loss in value, and divide by the kilometres you drive. Fuel is often only half the real cost.

What is depreciation?

The value a car loses while you own it: the price you paid minus what you'll sell it for, spread over the years you keep it.

How can I lower my running cost?

Drive smoothly, keep tyres at the right pressure, service on time, and keep a reliable car longer, since value drops fastest in the first years.
