Least Expensive Car To Drive
Toyota Prius is the least expensive car to drive. This was the conclusion of a AAA study. “The sticker price is truly the tip of the iceberg,” said a AAA spokeswoman. You have to consider repairs, insurance, gas and total fuel efficiency and a whole list of other factors.
The Toyota Prius has a low 17.9% of the five-year costs going to fuel. That means less the 20% of the cost of maintaining and keeping this car on the road is fuel costs. That is truly amazing. The only downside is the Toyota Prius depreciates faster than average, if you consider resale-book value. I am not sure why this is. But if you drive it to the end of its life, I do not see why this should be a factor and perhaps this noted faster depreciation is an aberration.

In your car driving a lot? Learn a language
If you are a commuter why not learn a language? I use to drive maybe 2.5 hours a day on my way to work and back, not including time going to the gym or other places. If I had spend that time listening to language CDs I would have been much better off today. Years latter after I gave up commuting for a tele commute I wrote an mp3 language learning program. Its the best way to optimizes your time while in a car and make the commute less stressful.

Autos cause pollution
I live in Krakow, Its in a valley so there is some moderate pollution. Many people say its from factories or other sources, however, on the days autos are in Krakow the air is polluted on the days they are not the air is clear. You can see this in any major city that Autos cause pollution. So when gas prices go up it is not always a bad thing. People will drive less and the air will be cleaner. This is a fact. Autos cause pollution.

Oil’s new high - cars are out
I think the time of the car is over. There is no way, that everyone in the world can continue to drive freely like in the past 30 years. My analysis of world oil supplies is 25 years, however, that is more an absolute level. Demand is increasing not just because of cars but because of industry. Industry and modernization of the rest of the 5 billion people living outside of Europe and America. If we have 25 absolute years for oil we have about 5 years before oil gets to such high level that our disposable income can not afford using a car except for absolute necessity.
