My insurance is about £30 a month. I put in about £50 fuel a month (damn you bigger engine. I miss my little corsa ) Road tax is £120ish every 6 months. Scary how quickly it all adds up and I'm never prepared for a car emergency! I remember with my corsa the timing belt went and it was £325 to repair and replace it! xx

My car:
Ins: £56 a month (Fully comp, 10yrs no claims)
Tax: £250 annually
MOT: £50
Services (inc things needing doing): Range from £400+ (depends if I need tyres, brakes etc..I'm due for both so looking at a hefty bill in Feb/March)
Fuel: £200 or so a month now (used to be just under £400 on my last car..and tax etc was all higher

DH car:
Roughly the same in costs but he's a contractor so fuel varies. His last job was costing him roughly £900 a month in petrol, now it's dropped to about £300.
