Annual Cost to Own and Operate a Vehicle Falls to $8,698 >, Finds AAA



Lower Gas Prices Help Fuel 2 Percent Decline From 2014 ?

ORLANDO, Fla. (April 28, 2015) – Due to declines in gas prices and finance charges, the annual cost to own and operate a vehicle has fallen to $8,698, a nearly 2 percent drop from last year, according to AAA’s 2015 Your Driving Costs study. This research examines the cost of fuel, maintenance, tires, insurance, license and registration fees, taxes, depreciation and finance charges associated with driving a typical sedan 15,000 miles annually. In the United States, a driver can expect to spend 58 cents for each mile driven, nearly $725 per month, to cover the fixed and variable costs associated with owning and operating a car in 2015.
“Fortunately, reduced gasoline and finance costs more than offset rising costs in other areas,” said John Nielsen, AAA’s Managing Director of Automotive Engineering and Repair. “As a result, car owners can look forward to saving approximately $178 this year.”

Good Morning `Tadd,
You gave up & now it's time to seek your rewards for your many years of work. I'm happy for you

What is it going to cost a mile/year to drive a new Camaro S.S. ?
