Total cost of your Evo every month?

I'll bet that my monthly expenses are pretty high compared to most on this forum.

During the school year (when I use the Evo as a daily driver) I spend the following each month:

Payment - $576
Insurance - $160
Gas - $340
Tires + oil ~ $80
Wear and tear + depreciation - ?

Minimum total cost is therefore right around $1156/month. Can anybody beat that?

The number is irrelevant without knowing the duration of the loan.
