It’s pretty expensive. That’s because fuel is priced according to the crude rates in international markets, whereas my salary is way below what someone would make in the first world.
So I’d spend 20-30 % of my paycheck just paying for fuel, if I used my car to commute to work everyday. Then there’s the maintenance. I’d be buying something used so I’d be spending lot of money on repairs.
See keeping a car isn’t all that cheap over here either.
