DD Unite!!! Cost for a DD Evo X?
Hi!
I tried searching but cant find the answer I'm looking for.
I need to know, kinda like a survey, how much does a person spend on a DD Evo X working 5 days a week, and about 10 miles to work, and back 10 miles to get home, total of 20 miles. I'll be doing 80% highway and 20% city driving. I'm looking for monthly costs, like gas consumption, maintenance, etc. In simple words, how much does an Evo X cost monthly for a DD?
I know the weekends will vary, but lets say the car won't leave the garage on weekends.
You can also put if you have a GSR or MR, your mileage to work, your MPG, and how many days of work if you have a different situation.
Please note that I will never track the car and lets leave the mod addition out of the equation.
Thanks in advance!

Well I was driving about that setup in an MR, getting 21-23 mpg/300 per full tank. Seeing as how you're going to be driving 100 miles a week, that's a $40 fill-up every 3 weeks if you ONLY go to work and back. Since you won't be driving the 5000 miles, you'll be changing oil every 3 months. That's about $40-60 if you do it yourself.
Sooooo..
52/3 = 17.3 fill-ups @ $40 each = $692.
12/3 = 4 oil changes/year @ (avg) $50 each = $200
$692 + $200)/12 = $892/12 = $75/month.
(Hrm.. I dunno but that seems horribly wrong LOL.)
Add your insurance and premium, also this (however much that stuff comes out to).

^^ LOL! I like how it turns out to $75/month! 
Yeah, insurance I'll get like $77 per month, and premium is TBD because I am just about to get one and want to expect the costs involved to own an X.
I'm setting up a simple excel spreadsheet for me to evaluate the variation of costs and how miles traveled affect it.
Thanks for the input!

LOL
I thought DD was another acronym for color the of the car
Anyway, according to my mpg.xlsx, here it is:
15-miles to work each way. (of which 2 miles are city driving), average MPG 21-mpg.
$2.97/gal current market price for permium gas in So Cal
150-miles 5-days (7.1gallons, $21.21 = $150.85/mo on gas)
7800 miles/year
leasure miles aka weekends and what not 5000/year
GRAND TOTAL annual mileage: 12,800

lets not make it complicated, shall we?
I believe Daskid is simply asking for a GAS expense. But if you are going to consider tires, brakes blah, you might as well include car wash, claybar, wax, armorall, vallet parking.
Daskid might loose his mind before he finally gets the X.

Nah, just this one. I would like to make sure that I can still save enough money for living a normal life.
Yeah, those too. I know it won't fall under the "month category" maybe yearly. Those expenses would help as well.

But other than insurance, gas and oil changes wind up costing me just about 75 a month when I calculate it too, I drive a lot more than just to and from work though, it is a performance car afterall. More like 120/month.
Then tires, clutch, and brakes all get complicated because you can get different ones and cheaper kinds etc etc.

well apparently for the lead foot drivers of the world you need to have 1695 on stand by to get anew clutch. I got my evo used and my clutch is perfect but i have no ideal if its the factory clutch or not. I just use my evo now to go to work and home 10 miles total and to my dads house or out and about and fill up every 2-3 weeks is all. I have a exedy twin carbon clutch in my room now just in case and for the fp red whenever i install it. other than that i think you are cool with DDing expenses. i have spent more money on modding the car then anything breaking in fact the only thing that has broke with my evo was the radiator. that only broke cause i was chaning the hoses and cracked it. Was a accuse to get a aftermarket one lol. Evo so far for me has been the perfect car. i dont beat on it except for when i leave work i punch it on the bridge but other then that perfect car.
