Most vehicles lose 15-25% of their value each year, especially in the first 3 years. ### **Fuel Costs** Fuel typically accounts for 20-35% of total ownership costs. Small improvements in fuel efficiency add up to hundreds saved per year. ### **Maintenance** Regular maintenance prevents costly breakdowns. Tracking services with DriveDex can save you thousands in avoided repairs. ## **Related Resources** [
