I don’t think so, but could I ask why you want to do this anyway?

At what point in your financial year is the proportion of your motoring expenses allocated to business relevant? Do you (for example) bill someone else on a monthly basis at a rate of 90% of the actual payments during that month? Or is it a matter of accounting for business and personal motoring expenses at the end of the tax year? Are you accounting only for consumables like fuel, oil and screen-wash, or are repairs included? What about a major expenditure like replacement of a clutch?
