Here is the math I did for a Diesel car for 5 years 100000 km use-

Depreciation per year - 60K
Insurance per year - 10K
Cost of capital per year- 10K
cost of service per year- 10K
cost of Fuel per year- 40K
cost of parts per year- 10K
Misc per year - 10 K (Can be used for additional expense incurred over and above the items given above)

Total - 150K for 20 K KM. per year Hence cost per KM - Rs. 7.5

The above is the most pessimistic estimate you may end up with a lesser expense than above.
