AAA Reports Cost of Owning and Operating a New Vehicle is Now 54.1 Cents Per Mile

Triple-A's 2008 edition of "Your Driving Costs" shows the cost of driving a passenger vehicle in the United States has increased nearly two cents per mile in the last year and now averages 54 cents per mile.

A spokesman says while the cost of some driving expenses declined since the start of 2007, higher gasoline prices have more than offset these savings and pushed the overall cost of vehicle ownership and operation higher this year. In 2008, Triple-A estimates it will cost 81-hundred dollars to own and operate a new passenger car driven 15-thousand miles per year. This compares to 78-hundred dollars per year in 2007; or 52 cents per mile.
