As a very brief example Paul the prius has an average lifespan of 11 years compared to a D3's 16.5 years.
The cost per mile is a formula combination of everything involved in producing that vehicle to the end of its life span , from design, energy, production, selling, running and repair costs.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Watch out for low bridges. If they are apple trees, fresh fruit on the move!

Fruit trees are dangerous, some council has taped off some pear trees as the falling fruit is a hazard! They reckon a pear weighs 1lb DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Well...just like you Dicky...everything has to expire at some point....it's just a shame some things don't do it sooner than others eh 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
