Transportation - Costs

Bankrate.com has a chart showing the cost of owning a car in the various states. Included are maintenance, Taxes, fuel, and insurance. These are probably average figures and I didn't dig for great detail. Your mileage will certainly vary. Interesting to note Colorado is 17th highest on the list. Figuring promenently is the taxes and fees department which is among the highest in the nation.

This relates to my former state rep, Joe Rice, who doubled our registration fees in an effort to sustain the monorail! light rail boondoggle. Without his help in the tax department, Colorado would be in the bottom 10 for costs of owning a vehicle.

Thanks Joe!
