My fuel cost for one month is $240. It involves 400km of travel per week. My insurance is $130/month. This cost is already reduced since I've been driving for 24 years without any accidents. Even with a big discount, it's still expensive to insure vehicles here in Vancouver. Just imagine how much new drivers are paying for insurance. It could probably be 2.5x higher than what I'm paying.

That's relatively expensive insurance considering the amount of accident free years of driving you have. I guess that is one of the prices you pay when living in a large city. I guess I should be happy only paying $81/mo.

I see some people get pretty good mileage out of these tires expense!!
Mine:
$160/month insurance (big bill for a peace of mind?)
$250/month gas!
$900 tires for 16k miles, about 8-9months. (18' with tires and wheels package, can't rotate them)
$50 for every 3K miles service.
Average cost to own my G per month: $900 including the monthly payment!! Yuckk
