Yeah but still...

I can't get anywhere near half that number, even adding all that up. Even with the amortized(?) purchase cost.

And it's not like I drive a beater.

And when I was a 'younger' American, I spent far, far less.

I estimate it at about $2500 for fuel+insurance -- nm - Beryllium Apr 10, 11:05
It includes depreciation, which I doubt many people account for, and isn't a cash outflow in any case. -- nm - Roger More Apr 10, 11:04 2
- The appear to be using depreciation in place of car payment or amortized cost if someone paid cash. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 11:06 1
  - Which is fine, but it's still a different definition of cost than most people use in their daily lives. -- nm - Roger More Apr 10, 11:08
