Fuark. That's the average cost to own/use a car in the USA.

Pretty brutal tbh.

Brb, driving 25 miles. Brb, paying $18.25 for the privilege.

Brb, taking a small 250 mile road trip. Brb, paying $182.50 to do so.

There's no way that's accurate. Most sedans are getting 30-40 mpg, unless that factors in insurance, maintenance, etc. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

Yes, that factors in everything. Insurance, purchase price of the vehicle, upkeep, interest on the loan, etc.

that's why countries with developed public transportation slightly mogg us in the end, even though they may make less. Brb chained to a car. Brb car breaks down and basically become functionally useless. BRB Can't get blackout drunk at a bar that isn't walking distance without needing a $40 taxi.

Nah. Having the freedom of your own personal transportation is goat. Public transportation is for europhaqs and poors. Europhaqs are too cucked to realize what they are missing and poors can't help it

Why its harder for the US to have a more developed nationwide public transportation system:

yeah take the bus and tell me how much time you save and how you feel physically after your commute.

legit. first thing poors do when they make money is buy a car. Arabs are obsessed with cars in the US cuz friend told me that where they come from they would have to be rich to have one and most can only buy a used car when they are 40yo if that.

here you got muslims with 8 members of their family trolling with a minivan a year after they arrive (to sponge off society).

Yeah, once you count not only gas, but wear and tear and depreciation it's no joke.

I was driving 58 miles each way to work. I took a WFH job where I took a slight paycut but it just seems like I have more money.

I think that sounds about right for a new Ford F150. Uber Drivers and the 10 year old base model Prius they just bought with a recently replaced oem hybrid battery have like an 18 cent per mile operating cost.

Seems a bit high even accounting for modern car cost...

Probably closer to 65 ish per mile for the first 5 years.

With 40-45 being more typical in the 5-10 year zone.

Well it's a fact that this is the average cost of ownership in the USA.

Yeah the average American is a retard with money, but still.

So I keep track of how much I pay for gas in a spreadsheet for this very purpose.

I paid 33k including tax in 2016 for my car
Pay about 100 a month for insurance * 96 months
Approximately 18000$ in gas during that time
About another 5k for maintenance items

I’m at roughly 73c per mile (ded fkn srs).

Feels bad man

Same car today with 90k more on it is only marginally less, just fukin lol.

I paid cash on this thing, so fortunately didn’t have to factor in interest payments because that really would have sent me closer to 80c/mile.

its a big factor in the reason I chose to move to a small one town island in hawaii....no car needed unless you really want one....everything I need is within a 20 min walk.

I'm still surprised how many people drive here....like for real its kinda hilarious...I get that you want to go to the beach sometimes, but we really need a small public system here or just let everyone drive golf carts around...I don't think we have more than 50 miles of paved road.

but not needing a car saves so much money and its nice to walk, granted its alway78f and nice weather, not everyone can do that.

this.

carcelling is absolute waste of time unless racing on track. even if you buy a ferrari with mileage of 8-12 each mile costs exponentially more in depreciation if you ever sell.

buy a prius. trust me.

I think that's for an average new vehicle. The biggest piece of the cost is depreciation. They also figure you don't do any of your own maintenance. If you're driving a new Highlander that you're financing it's probably $1.50 per mile. If you're driving a paid off 10 yr old RAV4 and you do your own maintenance it's probably 30-35 cents a mile. The older car's insurance is lower, the taxes on it are cheaper, depreciation is marginal compared to the newer vehicle, etc.

Depreciation really is a killer.

I told myself I'd get a prius for years but couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm not in the market for a vehicle any time soon but the latest generation Prius will probably be it when I'm ready to buy. 190 hp, 57 mpg, doesn't look goofy.
