As record inflation increased the costs of necessities — from groceries to clothing — a study from Insurify analyzed how much it costs to own a car in each state.
The study, published in August and before the recent gas price spike, is based on the average cost of insurance, property taxes, gas and repairs. The website did not calculate leases or car loan expenses since that can vary for each person.

Yeah, I'm not buying that bullshit.
Here, my annual registration costs are about a fifth of what it would've been had I stayed in California, I have no smog check, my insurance is a little less and gas is about half of what Californians pay.
My repair costs have been through the roof these past couple years, but that's only because of the age of my truck - I drive a 2001 F-150 and in the past couple years I've put in a new transmission, new fuel pump and a new engine due to its age.
