    • Abstract:
      This report updates "The Cost of Owning and Operating Automobiles and Vans--1979." It traces selected vehicles in personal use and their costs through a 12-year lifetime of 120,000 miles using mid-1981 data. The basic methodology is similar to that used in the earlier study with a few exceptions. The weight classes reflect the trend toward down-sizing in all size cars. Large, mid-size, compact and subcompact American cars have been studied. The vehicles, repair and maintenance operations, replacement items, insurance, fuel and oil consumption, taxes, and other costs included in the study and the values of the factors used to compute these costs are tabulated. Comparisons are made of the costs incurred by each automobile size class and one passenger van. This shows the costs in relation to the highway user taxes. The areas covered here include vehicle life and types of costs. Ownership costs include depreciation, insurance, registration or titling and sales taxes, scheduled maintenance, accessory costs, and finance charges. Operating costs include unscheduled repairs, gasoline, oil, tires, parking, tolls, and taxes. Adjustment of costs to other localities, applications for the study data, and opportunities for cost savings are also discussed.
