Mine costs me between $90-120 a month-excluding gas, but including oill
changes (every 1000 miles or when the oil dirties) and including insurance
and the once a month or so I actually take it to the car wash. My gas costs
though are high-with those Webers and Monzas and everything, I go through a
lot of gas! (15 in town, 20-25 highway) So, I didn't include them.
