Hi, can you please tell me the KM running cost for a 1999 Mazda Capella with a 2.0L engine. Thanks.

It's very difficult to calculate on a car of this age as a major component of the running cost is depreciation. As you can appreciate, a car of this age has already depreciated significantly.
With a car such as this at around 3-5 years of age, the running cost would be 64.2c per km, however, due to the age, the true running cost of this car might be around 40c per km.
