Re: Costs of operating a motor vehicle



Sorry Ken, no statistics for your rocket. 
 
However, the calculations I have are for a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier LS four door sedan, 2.2 litre with 4 cylinders.  Automatic transmission, power steering, power disc brakes, speed control (no good for the RX-7), block heater and heavy duty battery.

Moe,
 
I agree.  My RX-7 twin turbo's cost of repair, insurance, depreciation, and fuel costs are far higher than Tyler's Toyota Camry.  My owner's manual says I need to fill with premium, which cost US$1.71 last time I filled up, and has increased 50% in the last 12 months.
 
Compensating RX-7 costs with Camry rates is not fair, especially when I drive Mike to the airport to save the company $50 in parking costs.

Thought this company could provide more accurate information regarding operating a motor vehicle in both US and Canada.  I will forward the Canadian brochure from the CAA. 
 
Cost of repair, insurance, depreciation and fuel costs are much higher in Canada than the States.  Currently regular gas in Canada cost about $ 1.75 American, and has increased 33% in the last 12 months.
 
Compensating Canadian costs with American rates is not fair, especially when I drive to Buffalo to save the company hundreds of dollars in air fare.
