hi dean,
i did a back of the envelope calc and sent it to you in a separate email that came up with $1.41 per mile.
assumptions were 6mpg (8v92), $3.75 per gallon fuel, 8 tires at 600 each with fronts lasting 3 years and rears 5 years, all insurance, taxes, registration, plates, and a regular service with all fluids once per year. assumes NO repairs.
i also assumed an average of 4000 miles driven per year to get a cost per mile for everything but fuel.
btw, that is wayy less than half of what a charter bus company charges.
i would be interested to see what others come up with. i could and probably am way out to lunch on this.
