Every kilometer you drive in a Rolls Royce Phantom it loses $12 US (value).

If you are driving a RR I dont think you should worry about how much each mile is costing you

I don't think it works that way, using the current currencies exchange rate is not a good way to project the value in U.S. compared to Europe/UK, especially given the very weak US$ today. Notice that U.S.A. is probably the cheapest place to buy any new European car of similar specs. cars anywhere in the world right now, given the current US$ versus rest of the world currencies exchange rates.

I think you can buy a brand new Phantom for US$360,000 in the U.S. right now.
