What we spend a year on our cars

The average American spends 72 minutes per weekday in transit.  The average U.S. household spent $5,477 on gas and other auto expenses last year, according to Bundle data, an amount that accounts for about 14.5% of daily spending, not including mortgage or rent. That's more than we spent on groceries or utilities. And it's more than we spent on travel, entertainment, clothes and shoes, and hobbies -- combined. Connecticut household spent $7,652 on its automobiles in 2009, Detroit resident spent ($2,124). TOP US city,  Austin, Texas, the top-spending U.S. city, residents spent $10,128 on their cars.
