Are these costs based on loan repayments, insurance, fuel and reg?

In The Sun today, the Falcon was among the more expensive, possibly taking into account depreciation.
The top five contained cars like the Getz, i30, Yaris, Corolla and some other car that did not excite me. I am looking forward to the new Fiesta and how it compares in real-world reviews.

I was reading this on my iPhone while onsite earlier.
Haven't had another look at the above link but the XT on mobile.news.com suggested that it was an LPG XT. I was surprised the running costs between it and the Omega was only ~$6/week even with the LPG rebate ontop. |
