Introduction This Schedule is a guide to the average cost of owning and operating vehicles for private purposes. It is based on typical vehicles in various sizes available in Australia and provides an indication of the likely areas of expense. The tables provide costings for 108 vehicles. Models are generally chosen from the top selling vehicles in each class. This year we have again included three popular Prestige models from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. All costs used in these calculations were current as at 3rd April 2014, unless otherwise noted. We have again included Commodore and Falcon models running on petrol and also on LPG. A number of diesel and hybrid sedan and hatch models have also been included. Three vehicles using plug-in electric technology have been included. Please note that standing costs are shown in the tables as dollars per week and running costs as cents per kilometre amounts. The totals are shown as cents per km and as total dollars per week, total dollars annually and total dollars over 5 years.
