For what it's worth, I keep meticulous records for every imaginable expense related to my Murphy Moose.  Thus far I have a total of 220.6 hours on the Moose with operating costs running $115.55 (US) per hour.

Can you filter out everything but fuel and oil (no maintenance etc.) and post that (not if it’s a hassle)?

Or maybe list the items that result in the $115.55/hr operating cost.  Such as:
Fuel
Oil
Insurance
hangar rent/tie down fees
scheduled maintenance
unscheduled maintenance allowance
consumable items
landing fees
care and cleaning
total cost of buying constructing airframe
etc.
 
I am curious to see what insurance is per year on a moose at what hull valve as compared to other airplanes, like the model 12, yak, etc.  Most all the other costs will be about the same.

$38.79 / hr for just fuel & oil over my 220.6 hours in the plane.  Big items that drive the /hr cost up incl some hangar costs (before I built my own), instrument repair / purchase (alternator, artificial horizon, HSI), tools, parts (upgrade exhaust section), sales tax on kit purchase...

Kevin,
 
I just have liability ins on the Moose which is $706 / yr.  Hull was something like $4,500 for $150K which I thought was a bit much.  Plus, I wanted hull--if I got it all--for a Canada/Alaska trip and they wanted a 25% premium for that if I recall correctly.  Between house, car, life, health and everything else in life it seems, I'm tired of paying insurance companies a substantial portion of my income.
 
I didn't break down things quite as you detail below; I'll mail you my spreadsheet privately.
