    My guess is he’s asking how much it actually costs to run a car for 190 miles and will he have anything left over out of 45 pence per mile. 
    If that's the actual question, then the answer is "it depends".  A Ferrari will cost rather more per mile to run than a Fiesta.  There are so many variables.  Fuel, obviously.  Insurance, maintenance, wear & tear, etc.
    Replacement brake discs and pads on my car, for example, are cheap and easy (dead easy to DIY with just a basic amount of DIY experience) to do.  I suspect brakes on a Lamborghini or Ferrari would cost a little bit more :smile:
    The official HMRC figure is supposed to represent a portion of the overall costs of an "average" car, but even "ordinary" cars can vary quite a bit in terms of overall running costs.
