It's only a minimal decrease, but at least: the cost of purchasing and maintaining a car fell by an average of 0.6 percent last year, according to an analysis by the ADAC.
Drivers can be happy. At least a bit. According to the car cost index of the Federal Statistical Office and the ADAC, the prices for the maintenance and the purchase of a vehicle fell by 0.6 percent compared to 2012.
Decrease in fuel
The reason for this decline is primarily due to the lower fuel prices, which, according to the automobile club, fell by 3.4 percent on an annual average. In contrast, the pure cost of living increased by 1.5 percent. Despite this decline, driving a car has risen by an average of 6.5 percent since 2010, fuel costs have risen by 13.5 percent and the total cost of living has increased by 5.7 percent.
When calculating the car cost index, the acquisition costs for a new car also play an important role: however, they were stable with a decrease of 0.2 percent on an annual average. The factors that are included in the calculation of the car costs also include spare parts, accessories, repairs as well as expenses for driving schools and driving license fees (AG)
