Thar 4x4 — Lifetime Expenses
This post is the canonical lifetime expense log for the Thar 4x4. Every row in _data/expenses.csv tagged with car: "Thar 4x4" rolls up below — fuel, maintenance, accessories, tolls, and other — across every trip and every one-off spend since the vehicle joined the fleet.
How to read this
- Fuel — diesel refuels.
- Maintenance — service, parts, washes.
- Accessories — recovery gear, racks, mounts.
- Tolls — actual toll deductions during a trip.
- Other — anything that does not fit the above (use sparingly).
The report card at the bottom of this page is regenerated on every build. The itemized log can be expanded to view every line.
