I have 2012 IS-F
1) My car city/highway combine is about 19-20 MPG
2) My Insurance is $830 year, but I am 23 years old
3) No Oil change for me yet, but I guess would be $100 each 5K miles
4) No Repair

2008 IS F (calculations for 2011):

1) Avg. MPG calculated on board: 20.8 (spent ~$55 per full tank 18x for 2011 >> ~$990)
2) Comprehensive insurance for 2011 >> ~$1000
3) 1 oil change: ~$7 for oil filter (YZZ...), ~$60 for 2 5qt. Mobil 1 0w-30 synthetic oil >> $$67 (self-service)
4) ZERO repairs ()
5) Car care products: $120 (thanks to vendor DI)
6) Misc.: Registration + Tinting >> ~$1000

TOTAL for 2011 for me >> ~$3177

3. The big maintenance on the IS-F is the brake pads, rotors, and tires. Again, how hard you drive it makes a big difference.

4. I have an 08 and haven't needed a single repair. (Cross my fingers). Some idiot scraped my bumper in a parking lot and that cost me 350 bucks though...
Wow, your gas mileage is terrible. I get 17-18 driving hard in town and 21 on the highway. When I take trips, I have been over 28 MPG.

11-12 mpg isn't driving hard. It's driving hard on the street. The F gets 5.3 mpg at the track. That's driving hard.
