NOTES: Data may not add to total
because of independent rounding. Data are the cost per mile based on 15,000
miles per year and a composite of three current model American
automobiles. Variable costs include
fuel, maintenance, and tires. Fuel
costs are based on a late year average price per gallon of regular unleaded
gasoline. Fixed costs (ownership
costs) include insurance, license, registration, taxes, depreciation, and
finance charges.
