Gas is expensive.
car care in general will cost you more than riding public transport.
Theres the cost o storing the car which requires a garage or patking lot to protrct it from elements,
The maintenance for th e oil , the transmission, axles , engine, windows , windshiled wipers and fluid, tires, etc....
Theres the insurance
AND THEN theres the gas
and you didn't even mention the car itself lol
Great point I didnt even remember that!
Ige come to realization over the years that Ive been able to save thousands upon thousands of dollars all because Ive opted to just walk everywhere rather than buy or rent a car. Now Im obviously not a millionaire but holy shit Im sure my account would be reading negatives every week if I did own a car.
I feel a n unusual nt of concern for those who are poor but also dont have widely available wheel trans in their municipalities and use their car to transport disabled relatives or associates....
