Average Salem $908 Yearly to NEW YORK How much does it cost residents of Salem to own and operate their passenger cars? An estimate, based on figures produced by the American Automobile Association, shows that it is about $566 a year in foxed expenses and 3.5 cents for every mile driven. Applying this national average to the local scene, where the latest registration figures show 17,051 passenger cars in use, we get $15,500,000 as the annual cost in Salem. Per car, the cost is $908. 9,700-Mile Average This assumes that local drivers travel 9,700 miles a year, which is the national average. There is little variation in this respect between urban and rural resi dents. The fixed cost, equal to $1.55 a day, covers depreciation, li cense fees and insurance fire, theft, property damage and lia bility ($15,000 and $30,000). This expense piles up daily, even if your car isn't used. As to the 3.5 cents per mile figure, it covers gas, oil, mainte nance and tires. If you are a 10,000 mile-a-year driver, your operating costs total $350 and your fixed charges $566. The total, $916, is equal to nearly 9.2 cents a mile. Some Fixed Charges The 5,000 mile-a-year driver fares worse on a mileage rate. It costs him 14.8 cents a mile since he has the same fixed charges to meet. On the other hand, cars driven 20,000 miles cost only 6.5 cents a mile on an annual basis. The fixed charges vary for dif ferent parts of the country. The range, according to data present ed by the AAA, is from a low of $1.38 a day to a high of $1.88. Any estimate of driving costs should take into consideration the recognized added expense of driving in congested urban traf fic, notes the AAA. Such costs, according to a recent study by the Los Angeles city govern ment, are 15 per cent above nor mal. Going higher 100 feet is equiv alent to going north about 70 miles.
