Can't find my spreadsheet right now, but at 84k miles I am at about 22 cents per mile, including purchase price, financing, current KBB value, insurance, fuel and maintenance.

One of the interesting aspects is the recent trend in used Prius prices seen in Ebay. It looks like my used Prius is not depreciating.
