What is your price per mileage (PPM) in LFS?

By price I mean all the money you have spend into your sim racing hobby including special ECCI wheels, BRD pedals, momo wheels, HKS racing stripes. But only include your PC/screens if it is LFS/sim racing only

I'll start with relatively low PPM:
Wheel: MS non-FF racing wheel with selfmade pedals, dfp , total costs about 100€ + 40€ +30€ + LFS S2 (40€) + 20€ running costs = 230€
Mileage in LFS : 89630 Km

-> PPM = 0,002566€/km = 0,26c/km

For other currencies, http://www.xe.com/
1 km = 0,6196 ml
1 ml = 1.614 km

If you don't want to tell us the exact number you could still vote on the poll

EDIT:

Quote from LFSn00b :

What poll?

Well, it takes few seconds to fill the poll questions... refresh... and patience.

lawl takes time xD from pounds to kroons to euros . but i got a result of over 0.2

I only paid for LFS, I used my brothers old Logitech Driving Force (He has a DFP these days) and my PC is definitely not just for sim-racing ;D

Then take 6000-ish miles, not adding probably just as much offline racing.... it's not a lot per KM

DFP (£70/€100) + LFS (£24/€35) = £94/€135

27006 miles/43461 km

0.34p/mile

0.31cents/km

£24 for LFS, laptop from work £0, XBox controller from XBox £0 = about 0.004 Euros per mile

more than 1 c/km

MSFF wheel, then upgraded to DFP wheel, LFS S3 license, around 220€ total I would say.

Quote from JTbo :

LFS S3 license

8 cent per km

Logitech WingMan FF GP (80 euro) and LFS S2 (36 euro)

i have no idea bout me, but as i only paid for the game and have driven quite a few miles i voted the last.
should be right.

100€ for DFP, 140€ for Act Labs Shifter, 40€ for Wingman Formula (before DFP) and 36€ for LFS / 38879km = 0,8c/km
I am planning to get the Act Labs pedals too in the near feature, so I will have to keep racing to keep the PPM low

Quote from JamesK :

Some of us, did pay from all 3 stages once when preordering

DFP (€100) + LFS (€35) = €135

112322 km

0.0012cents/km

Ah, ok - I hope you get the chance to use that investment

My maths is probably wrong but
LFS (£24) + DFP (£65) - DFP selling price (£45) + G25 (£162) = £206
22585 Miles = 36452 km
0.009 pence per mile
0.00565 pence per kilometer => 0.013 euro and 0.017 USD

LFS (24£)
New PC1 = 200£
Momo = 50£
G25 = 150£
NewPC2 (20" iMac) = 1000£
2 monitors = 150£ each (300£)
(Yes, all this wwas purchased with LFS in mind as primary use.. :P)
thats 1724£ (holy hell thats a **** load of money in canadian, nearly 3500$)

so 3500$ / 20556 ml
17¢ a mile
Not too cheap for me.

Formula Force GP (Free, present)
LFS (€36)
Driving Force Pro (€88 iirc)

30839km

124/30839=€0.00402088265

Formual Force GP
Driving Force Pro
VPP Pedalset Professional
Live For Speed

142019 Km

€ / km = 0,37

good thing is that it gets cheaper with every lap...

Computer - would have one anyways
Momo - had it from NR2003
LFS - $42 (2 yrs ago), 31 Euro (current), or 24 GBP

~41000 miles = ~66000 km

0.00047 euro/km
0.00036 GBP/km
$0.001 USD/mile

S2 license - €35
MS no FF - €20

36697 km

55 / 36697 = 0,00149876

I voted for mine in miles before I realised it should've been in km :/

S2 = £24
Wheel = £45 (IIRC)

Total = £69 = 102.8 Euros

102.8 / 13949 = 0.007

Quote from JamesK :

Why wouldn't he? Lots of us have pre-ordered S3 (although I used my extra £12 to buy someone a voucher with, so am currently only S2 licenced... )

My wheel was free, as it is borrowed, so it's just the cost of LFS for me:

35 / 13442 = 0.0026037791995238803749442047314388 = 0.26c per mile

I've done the same as Dajmin...oops
