New Car Travel Costs Estimated 8 Cents a Mile
Berkeley study by Dr. Ralph A. Moyer of the University of California Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering finds a modern car costs about eight cents a mile, up to ten for expensive models. Monthly use of 1,000 miles could run $80 to $100, with potential cuts to two or three cents by using a jalopy and doing own repairs. The report notes U S costs are far lower than in 1903 when cars averaged 10 to 20 cents per mile.
