Transportation Spending
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the US Department of Labor, transportation is second only to housing when it comes to annual consumer spending. The most recent BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey indicates that average annual spending on transportation increased 7 percent from 2004 to 2005, and 2 percent from 2005 to 2006. Transportation spending includes vehicle purchases, finance charges, gasoline and motor oil, maintenance and repairs, insurance, public transportation and vehicle rental, leases and other charges. According to AAA, the cost of owning and operating a new vehicle is 54.1 cents per mile, an increase of 1.9 cents per mile over last year. "While the cost of some driving expenses declined since the start of 2007, higher gasoline prices have more than offset these savings and pushed the overall cost of vehicle ownership and operation higher this year," said AAA director of public affairs Gail Weinholzer.
