The AA carries out running cost calculations on an annual basis. These take every aspect of running a vehicle into account. Fuel, servicing, tyres, WOF registration, insurance, depreciation etc are all contributing factors, with the biggest component being depreciation (which surprises many people). As you can see, insurance is included, but there's nothing to stop you shopping around for premium prices).

Judging from the 0.809c you have quoted, I'm guessing you are running a diesel vehicle under 3.0 litre capacity. (that was the 2011/12 rate, which has changed slightly for 2012/13).

This information is available free to AA Members via MY AA on our Website, or by calling 0800 500 333 (Option 2) and having your membership number handy. Non-members can access the information via 0900 58 324 (with a small cost associated).
