Default low maintenance costs?

2008 Coupe (Z51) purchased new in 2007. To date, have spent $3900 in maintenance and appearance items including: Lloyds mats, M2W, GM splash guards, oil changes, state registrations and inspections and most recently, new tires, alignment and a GMPP for an additional three years. With 22k on the clock, I am averaging just short of 18 cents per mile in maintenance costs. Through in the $2800 spent on fuel in three years and I'm up to 30 cents per mile to drive one of the world's most awsome cars! Is this a great country or what?

Gov't POV rates are now $.50/mile.

You're $.20/mile ahead of the game.
