I made a mistake on my 2006 car expenses for the Honolulu Advertiser commentary dated Thursday, May 17, 2007. Instead of $3000 in fuel expenses, it should be $2,111.70. I forgot to subtract the car insurance and registration expenses. Nonetheless, my car expenses in 2006 seemed high. I often drive throughout the island of Oahu for meetings and events, often going back and forth from the Leeward area to Honolulu.
The following are my 2006 car expenses breakdown:
Car Expenses
Fuel: $2,111.70
Insurance: $864.00
Registration: $165.25
Service and Repairs: $754.19
Auto Miscellaneous: $103.03
Total: $3,998.17
