How to work out cost per mile

torbrex

My currenty car costs me on average 11.5 pence per mile in fuel but of course that is fuel only and does not allow for all other running costs.

I do a casual job that pays 22ppm and a temp job that pays 30ppm.

45p per mile, is reckoned to be the average cost of running a car.

Well, that's the amount HMRC will allow an employer to pay without the employee incurring a tax liability. Personally I wouldn't think a friend doing a favour should expect a proportion of the costs for road tax, insurance, MOT etc where these costs are the same whether or not she drove the extra 360 miles. I would think between 12-15p per mile to be appropriate.

What car have they got and what do they get to the gallon?

Approx figures.....

18mpg = £130 in fuel alone.

30mpg = £76

35mpg = £65

40mpg = £57

etc...
