Yea, I was trying to be extremely conservative with my 5% number, and I think it's much larger due to some of the effects you mention. But I'm a little skeptical time effects are actually larger than mileage ones in total. Do you know a good quantitative argument (even if approximate) for this?
- ghaff 9y agoI'm arguing that mileage effects are much bigger unless you regularly flip cars when, say, a lease expires. AAA publishes car ownership cost numbers. But the big challenge of quantifying this in general is that the relatively fixed component is a lot more for someone who gets a new leased vehicle every three years vs. someone who owns a car for 10-15 years and 150K miles. http://newsroom.aaa.com/tag/driving-cost-per-mile/ http://newsroom.aaa.com/tag/driving-cost-per-mile/
- jessriedel 9y agoOh, sorry I misread your comment. Yes, I agree that mileage costs are probably larger than time costs.
