CAR STUDY

_ Hertz runs
compact —
tor $2,400

WASHINGTON (TPS) — It
costs about 24 cents a mile to
own and operate a mid-size ‘ ‘

_car. 19 cents for a sub- 7 ;
compact, and about 29 cents "Do you know that we only use
for a standard model. __ ane-third of our brain?”

These are averages re- oa ee PCy
ported by the leasing division
of the Hertz Corp. in a study
for its fleet customers.

The cents-per-mile averages
assume the owner drives his
car 10,000 miles a year, and
keeps it three years. They in-
clude interest on the loan he
took out to buy the car, as
well as his other operating
costs. ; ; ,

‘The power-mile averages
work out to $2,406 a year for
the owner of a mid-size car
driven 10,000 miles. The totals

. .would be $1,900 for a sub-
* compact and $2,900 for a
Standard car.

Hertz said per-mile costs
drop as cars are driven more
than 10,000 miles a year;
fixed costs such as interest
and insurance are spread over
more miles.

The costs are going up. Ris-
ing fuel prices are one reason
and rising auto prices anoth-
er. i
