I spend on the average 12k on fuel monthly to and fro work, Monday through Friday. Most weekends, I gat to top up 2k fuel for weekend groove. All these are exclusive of Maintenance cost. My Toyota Avalon ship hasn't broken down in over a year now, so no much maintenance cost apart from the routine 6-months oil change!

Oil change is not 6 months oooo! It is every 5,000 Km! If you drive 5,000 Km in a month, you have to service the car. Some cars can take longer before service. So read your owner manual to know the recommended oil grade and the distance the car should travel before service.

Minimum of 36k/month on fuel alone since =N= 145/litre, average of 14k (labour not inclusive) per routine service when due which depends on how often you use the car due to the digital Oil life depletion on my car. Another, 15k miscellaneous is always set aside per month for any orisirisi that may come up which is always carried over if nothing comes up.

Car ; 2007 Acura TL, 3.2L enigine, 0-100km/hr in 6 seconds (Midnight Black, Base with DVD Navigation, revcam and audio entertainment package).

I do use a full tank of 75 litres capacity covering 22 miles per day with a lot of grooving during weekend for a month if XFT is added to the fuel.
I dont believe you. U cannot use one full tank of 75 ltrs for one month when you cover 22 miles daily. Not possible my dear even with diesel engine!

Depends on the oil grade used,mine gives 15000kms after servicing with full synthetic oil grade which I can barely cover in 6mths.it can stay up to 1year.

When you begin to check how much a car consume in a month,then that car is becoming unreliable.
Most good cars only needs tobe fueled,and the car should not consume excessively.
It depends solely on ur maintenance culture to keep a good car in shape,if u don't run into a ditch,if u don't revv ur car @ start up in the morning,if u check ur coolant regularly plus ur engine oil,ur brake pads changed when due.then u cannot compare how much a good car should take in a month.
Some works in yaba and reside in epe,some egbeda and work in badagry,the stress the car faces daily is not same.I don't calculate all these I just buy fuel to where I need to go.

u're right Mister. Considering so many factors (hard economy, short distance etc), I deliberately choose to service at 6-months interval.

Before now, I spend an average of 6k on fueling in a month @87 par litter.

But now, about 10k par litter in a month @145 par litter.

Don't have issue with repair and I don't take the car to work everyday, it all depend on traffic situation as I don't like driving in Lagos traffic.

With a monthly travelling out of Lagos of about 320km (to & fro) and traffic on Lagos/Ibadan express way.

Car:Peugeot 406

Engine: 16 valve.

You have no idea how this question strikes me, I am at the quack Mech shop now and spent 135k within two days fixing and replacing and still got 12k to balance for workmanship, I don't know how I got myself into this mess,a car that haven't spent 4days with me.

No wonder most cars go bad easily.

Change oul and the filter once every 5000km not every month.
