I have been keeping track of all costs this year. I run about 5.5 gph on a c-85. For fuel pricing go to airnav.com and check fuel prices in your area. Fuel prices vary across the country. In Chicago: 80 runs 2.35-2.60 Autogas runs 1.65-1.85 - At an FBO. I can not but autogas in the summer months as they reformulate it. 1qt oil every 6-8 hours. Insurance with 22k hull is $800/year. Annual has been between 450-550/year. Your first annual may be more depending on the shape of the plane. You'll have a hard time finding any other plane cheaper to fly. Not to mention fun.

My wife wants me to put some numbers together for her to see if we can afford to take the plunge. I have the cash to buy the plane, and have traded for a hanger. So what I need help with is some figures of cost per hour to maintain and fly a coupe with an auto fuel STC. The maintenance has been very good, and baring any unforeseen, (I know they happen) I need to give her some bare bones cost per hour to operate.
