Automobiles - Cost of operating
|
| Answer/Pointer: |
In addition to the purchase price, the owner of a new car or automobile has considerable operating costs.
The cost of driving a mid-sized car in 1996 rose to 51.43 cents a mile, an increase of 10 cents
per mile since 1990. Exzpenses such as fuel, tires, and routing maintenance were up from 1990,
and fixed-cost expenses were up more than $3.00, at an average of $13.69 a day. See table in
