Would you be surprised to hear that your state is among the most expensive states to own a car? Well if you live in Georgia then you are in the most expensive state to operate a motor vehicle. Oregon would be the cheapest. These costs include: repairs, taxes/fees, gasoline, and Insurance.
Surprised?? Well, the actual costs of operating a motor vehicle may shock you as well. In Georgia, a typical driver spends $4,233 per year to operate his or her vehicle. That is almost double the cost in Oregon
($2,204). The national average is $3,201.
For every state, Bankrate determined total car-ownership costs using median insurance premiums provided by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, average repair costs from CarMD.com and average automobile taxes and fees from Kelley Blue Book. Bankrate estimated average gasoline spending using average pump prices from GasBuddy.com.
Where does your state rank?
