What a Cessna 182 Skylane costs to own in Canada
More useful load and speed than a 172, at a noticeably higher fuel burn; a constant-speed prop and higher insured value lift fixed costs too. Below is a realistic starting point for the running costs — then use the full ownership calculator to plug in your own hangar, insurance and flying hours.

Fuel
About 13 US gal/hour in cruise. At roughly $2.2/litre for 100LL that's ~$108 per flying hour before oil.
Maintenance & reserve
Routine maintenance plus an hourly engine-overhaul reserve so the eventual overhaul isn't a five-figure surprise. Set the reserve in the calculator.
Hangar & annual
Hangar or tie-down and the mandatory annual inspection are due whether you fly or not — the biggest fixed costs for most owners.
Insurance
Driven by the insured value and your experience in type. Complex, retractable and float aircraft cost more to insure than a simple trainer.
