Average Motorist Spends 11.9 Cents A Mile to Own and Operate an Auto
The Federal Highway Administration says the average cost is 11.9 cents per mile to own and operate a car, with $3,200 price basis and 10 year life. NICB finds 128 manufacturers differ in per mile reimbursements. 88 pay 10 cents, seven pay 8 cents, one at 15 cents, another weighing possible rise. Companies often allow personal use of cars by employees, arguing policing costs are high. The NICE study notes broader trends in company travel policies beyond autos.
