Costs of Owning a Car Revealed by Federal Study
The Federal Highway Administration reports Americans spent over 20 billion dollars buying new cars last year but most do not know the true cost of ownership. A typical 1972 standard car costs 13.55 cents per mile over 10 years, with 2,787 dollars for gas and 1,800 for garage and tolls. Depreciation remains the largest single expense, and maintenance, insurance, and taxes add substantial amounts. Car features show high adoption of power steering, automatic transmissions, and radios in standard models, while subcompacts lag in power steering but have growing radios and automatic transmissions.
