If you had to guess, which state would you say is the least expensive in which to own a car? The answer is Oregon, although many people would suspect it's actually more expensive than many states to own a car there, based on how many people use alternative transportation.A new study by Bankrate.com looked at the cost of repairs, insurance premiums, gas and taxes and fees in all fifty states.
In Oregon, the average annual cost of operating a car is $2,204, significantly lower than the national average. Where does Washington come in? After being told yesterday that the spark plugs for my Honda are $27 each (!!) I'd think it would be at the top of the 'expensive' list, but

But how long will they last? Those I got are supposed to last 60,000 miles. I remember changing spark plugs at 15,000 miles so now they last 4 times that and 1/4 the labor to install them.
Even with the $600 I have spent on repairs this year I will not come close to the Idaho average and way below the Washington average.
They told me they would last another 100,000 mile! So I guess worth the investment :)
