This is absolutely correct. Anytime you get an accountant involved they calculate total operating costs and use those numbers. Another thing about fleet operators especially government ones is they get vendor financing at very low rates. So capital cost just becomes another monthly number.
Most people don't do that when they chose to buy a car but they absolutely should. Because the capital cost of ownership is only something like 30% of the total cost or owning a vehicle. And the other costs vary wildly between models.
