The French government has announced plans to allow retailers to sell fuel at a loss - even though French law currently prohibits doing so - with hopes that the measure will bring down prices at the pump for consumers.

    With maintenance and other costs, including putting money aside for when this car is to be replaced, we reserve about €300 a month. That is including fuel for those 20k km per year.

    Never ever is it that cheap!

    20k km means €2200 for benzin alone. (5,5 liters/100 km and 2€/liter)

    Insurance is €900

    Road tax €500

    Maintenance and tyres €1200

    Savement for replacement €1500

    This is €6300 yearly or €500 per month.

      Seems like my memories about my calculations were a little off. It’s €350 per month for 15k km. Upping it to 20k km would make it around €400, which, insanely enough, is still cheaper than public transport. 😐
