Most people calculate the cost of driving by figuring how much gas they use. But miles-per-gallon is only one of the expenses car owners pay. Besides the cost of the vehicle, there is maintenance, repairs, insurance, parking, tolls, and a litany of woes. What does it all add up to? You could keep detailed records, or you could use a handy online calculator to estimate the cost. Take a look at the True Cost of Driving Calculator. But sit down first, this is going to be a bit of shock.

IF I only drive 10 miles a day, on average, it costs $1,725 a year! And that is just one car! The gag-me part of this story is that we don't have one, two, three, four or five cars---I think, as a household, we have 6 cars! It is more than disgusting and embarrassing! It is like we are running a car breeding farm, especially when we have Couchsurfers show up and they add another car to the lot!
