Summary: The cost of running a car is constantly rising. Since the Association published its first Schedule of Estimated Running Costs in 1934, the weekly cost of an average family saloon has risen from £1.60 to just over £11.50. It has often been said that the motor car is the second most expensive item in our lives: this is no longer neces- sarily so. Statistics show that the car now costs many families more per week than their mortgage or their food bill It is in everyone's interest-the motorist's, his family's and the country's-to reduce the amount we all have to spend on our motor cars. The Association has produced Money-saving motoring as a pointer to the ways you can help yourself: driving to save vital and expensive petrol, maintaining your car regularly for economy and safety, repairing it yourself when possible, choosing wisely when you come to change your car and getting the best from your insurance. There is no one complete answer to a complex problem, but I commend Money-saving motoring as a first step towards checking the ever-rising graph of motoring costs.
