Make sure you use L / 100 km for the formula, and that you divide the 200000 km by the 100 km 
Explain the formula to me? What is “fuel consumption * 200000km * 0.8 automation money unit / L”? I can’t make sense of this in my head so I’d appreciate a less formulaic explanation.
Edit: Would it be reasonable to say that this is calculating liters consumed over 200,000km at a rate of $.80/L?
For example, 10L/100km would be 20,000L over 200,000km and would cost $16,000?
Will you be driving the cars and does handling and driveability matter?
Are the submissions open yet?
Yes.
For my own sanity, no I won’t be driving the cars in Beam, as it’s not necesary for this topic.
Considering driveability, Gerald’s skills are average in driving when not drinking, if not mediocre due to his age. Something he may have become aware of himself after his incident.

If you have higher reliability, you divide the service cost futher.
$500 service costs *15 / (trim reliability (41) - 40 (1)) = $7500
$500 service costs *15 / (trim reliability (55) - 40 (15)) = $500

…and if you have exactly 40.0 reliability, you divide by zero and destroy the universe!

and if you have less than 39 reliability the car becomes cheaper!

But you may still get binned.
If I am building a “diesel” is this the same fuel price like gasoline ?

1979 Honghu WM-1358EU
Decided to EU-spec this thing by throwing in a tiny ass engine into it. Why? Because I didn’t feel like taking the sensible route.
