As the Sydney Morning Herald personal finance newsletter, Real Money, is featuring car expenses this week, I was curious about how much of our spending on car went to actual driving vs. maintenance. So, I split the existing "Petrol, maintenance etc." category into "Petrol, parking, tolls" and "Car repair, NRMA etc.". In the last twelve months we spent $2,143 on the former and $1,978 on the latter. So, it is about even. The total transport category was at $9,383, with a total spent on the car of $5,707 (61%) and $3,676 (39%) on taxis, Uber, buses, and scooters. Flying falls in the "Travel" category. Car expenditure also includes registration, insurance, and depreciation.
