Motoring costs on the way down


The RACQ has crunched the numbers and found that owning and running a car now is actually cheaper than it’s been for a number of years. The Queensland motoring club has released its annual Vehicle Running Costs survey which has revealed lower interest rates, cheaper fuel and more competitive insurance prices helped to reduce the upward push of costs in recent years. As reported at behindthewheel.com.au, the cheapest car to own and run in Queensland was a Suzuki Celerio, with the most expensive car a Nissan Patrol V8. Looking at all the expenses associated with normal car ownership, RACQ Executive Manager Technical and Safety Policy Steve Spalding joined Behind the Wheel hosts Chris Miller and Peter Hitchener to look at why the cost of owning some new vehicles has dropped by as much as $20 per week.
