With all the cost of ownership commercials from Chevy I decided to do a little of my own.

I'm not going to figure in the price of the truck in the cost of ownership right now, but I do have a spreadsheet that will do that if anyone wants it.

For now I'll just stay with fuel, oil and maintenance.

Fuel: $2214.01
Maintenance: $128.03
Total: $2342.04
720 Gallons @ 17.70 MPG
Cost per Mile: $0.184 (not including wear tear depreciation etc)

Average fuel price: $3.08 per gallon. (It doesn't look to be near this good this coming year)

Same cost/gallon as you, with about 45000 miles logged.

What app is that ji?

It's called roadtrip. There's a lite version too. Had it since I bought my truck, and have tracked every fill up, service, and expense for the last three years.

That's a nice app. I wish I would've known about it when I bought mine.

Thanks.

I know for sure that the screenshot is from an iPhone but I don't know if they have an Android version.

Also ji, is the name actually RoadTrip or is it something else? I wasn't able to pull it up.

To me, cost of ownership is how many times do i end up at the dealer getting something repaired/replaced/part failure. They should call this the Inconvenience of Ownership, thats a true cost. Other than that all trucks need the same routine maintenance and fuel. All the marketing hype from all truck makers is stretching the truth. Other than that what matters to me is Safety and Towing. The reliability part come with the Inconvenience factor.

I use car maintenance reminder on android. Paid for the pro version so I can backup and restore to the cloud. Not as pretty, but very functional
