* Estimate provided by the AAA publication, Your Driving Costs. In coming up with the estimate of 54.1 cents above, AAA figures in average fuel, routine maintenance, tires, insurance, license and registration, loan finance charges and depreciation costs for an automobile that is driven 15,000 miles per year. Excludes loan payment. Fuel prices are based on late-2007 national average gas price of $2.941 per gallon. Your estimated monthly cost of driving calculation does not include the average fuel price of $2.941 per gallon provided by AAA in order to allow for a current gas price calculation to be performed. AAA has been conducting this annual analysis since 1950. That year, driving a car 10,000 miles annually cost 9 cents a mile, and gasoline sold for 27 cents per gallon. • A $65 Local Monthly Pass or a $650 Local Annual Pass includes local bus and DART Rail service. • A $75 System Monthly Pass or a $750 System Annual Pass includes local and express bus service, DART On-Call and DART Rail service, plus one commuter rail zone on the Trinity Railway Express. • A $105 Regional Monthly Pass or a $1,050 Regional Annual Pass includes all buses and trains, including two commuter rail zones on the Trinity Railway Express.
