Figures we have not yet sourced
Vehicle-specific fuel economy defaults, insurance/maintenance defaults on the Car Running Cost calculator, and depreciation are marked as illustrative starting points or intentionally excluded — not verified figures — until we can cite a specific source per vehicle. Our planned vehicle database will carry a source and verification date per record, the same standard as the data above.
