The running costs is 53.2 cents/km for a petrol vehicle with an engine size 1500cc or less - calculated for vehicles from 0 - 5 years old.

Thanks Donovan! The engine is 1600cc but car is now 8 years old. Would that change the rate? Thanks!

The 1.6L running costs is 68.7 cents/km but this is calculated for newer vehicles and with depreciation being a big factor there will be a difference. But we don't have an official rate for older vehicles.
