We are currently spending $75 a week on gas.

Repairs for us average $2000 a year. Trucks are expensive to repair. We've had it for two years. It has needed a catalytic converter, a new belt, a new brake caliper, and it probably right now needs a head gasket. It's losing oil.

Cost of my Leaf loan payment is $250 a month. Plus $30 in gas, for a total of $280.
