ampendse: My 2.5 months Pune R2I experience

ord2pnq;189859Before relocating to Mumbai, I lived in Karvenagar and commuted to Bund garden Road.
My fuel expense came to Rs. 5,000 per month. Add insurance - mine is Rs. 1,000 per month, repairs for the dents/ dings (Rs. 300 per month), misc maintenance (Rs. 250 per month) -->my car related expenses came to Rs. 6,550.
This did not include ANY trips outside of Pune municipal corporation limits, no highway/ toll driving.
Of course, you need to adjust for gas mileage (or petrol kilometerage)- mine 12 kmpl in the city with AC running @ Rs. 41 per liter... versus whatever you get from your car, at the prevailing petrol prices...(unless you bought a diesel!).
So I think you might want to revise the 4,000 plus 1,500 number a little higher- say 7,000 incl. insurance.
Speaking of fuel... need to find a decent watering (or a fuelling) hole![/quote]
You are probably right. I guess I will come to know the actual expense after 1 or 2 months of owning a car. mine will a petrol one too. (@48 per ltr now :emsad:)
