The cost of depreciation is more than the total cost of tires, gas- oline and repairs. Figure the cost of depreciation by the month, $25, $50, $75, $100 per month, and you will realize that it costs you more than all other combined expense of operating your car. Avoid heavy depreciation if you would economize in your motor transportation expense.
