The car internal costs are all the costs consumers pay to afford owning and running a car. Normally these private expenditures are divided by fixed or standing costs and variable or running costs. Fixed costs are those ones which do not depend on the distance travelled by the vehicle and which the owner must pay to keep the vehicle ready for use on the road, like insurance or road taxes. Variable or running costs are those which depend on the use of the car, like fuel or tolls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://theaa.com )〕 Compared to other popular modes of passenger transportation, especially buses or trains, the car has a relatively high cost per passenger-distance travelled.〔 〕 Motorists in the United Kingdom seem to spend on the car an average of roughly 1/3 of their average net income,〔 〕 while motorists in Portugal seem to spend 1/2 of their net income. For the average car owner, depreciation constitutes about half the cost of running a car,〔 nevertheless the typical motorist underestimates this fixed cost by big margin, or even ignores it altogether.〔 〕 The IRS considers, for tax deduction calculations, that the automobile has a total cost for drivers in the USA, of 0.55 USD/mile, around 0.26 EUR/km.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=IRS Increases Mileage Rate to 55.5 Cents per Mile )〕 ==Standing costs== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Car costs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
