Where people go wrong

  • Using annual miles as monthly miles.
  • Ignoring fuel-price changes.
  • Counting only commuting, not weekend driving.

FAQ

How do I estimate monthly miles?

Use odometer differences, or commute distance times days times two.

Should maintenance be included?

No; fuel is only one part of driving cost.
