The 2025 MINI Countryman has the lowest cost per mile at $0.56, out of 193 vehicles with AAA ownership data for 2025. This includes fuel, insurance, depreciation, maintenance, and financing costs.
What does cost per mile include?
Cost per mile combines all major ownership expenses: fuel, insurance, depreciation, maintenance, registration, taxes, and financing. It is calculated from AAA annual ownership cost data divided by 15,000 miles (the average annual driving distance). A lower cost per mile means the vehicle is cheaper to own and operate over time.
Are the cheapest cars per mile also the cheapest to buy?
Not always. Among these 193 vehicles, base prices range from $20,500 to $38,900. A higher-priced vehicle can have a lower cost per mile if it has better fuel economy, lower insurance rates, or slower depreciation. Total cost of ownership matters more than sticker price.
