Depends on the car.

My Mustang, killer on both.

The GEO, cheap, cheap, cheap.

I'll say gas though.

Insurance.. atleast on gas it will do something. but insurance.. meh.. with the amount of money that goes to insurance a year, I could probably afford a way better car and pay for whatever damage gets done to it.

Re: Whats worse?

Insurance seems to be going down for me. Less than $1000 / year.

Re: Whats worse?

Insurance is only expensive for kids and people with crappy driving records. The cost of gas is only bad for people with no extra room in their budget. For me, my car getting dirty is much worse than either of the above.

Re: Whats worse?

hmm, i spend about 3400 a year for insurance (fully insured truck). About 60-70 a week on gas which is between 3120/3640 a year. So i would say im gettin double teamed by them.

Re: Whats worse?

Spend about 3K a year on insurance (everything from collision down to glass) and about $50 a week in gas(thats if I'm not driving all over the fucking place) Insurance sucks because you have to have it and then as soon as you use it they raise your premiums. So in theory if you don't have a claim you should get some of your money back. It is such a racket that it is almost as bad as tow-truck companies. A year ago I hit a guardrail trying to avoid another accident, the other guy took off, so instead of calling the cops and having to pay for the guard rail i left too. When I went to get a quote on repairing the damage the body-shop wanted like $1600. My collision deductable is $1000. So I would have ended up paying more by the time I went through the insurance company becuase they would've jacked up my premium by like $500-$1000. Just fixed it myself for like a little under $1000. Peace-

hmmm lets see..
237 a month for insurance as oppose to
80-90 a month for gas (42 avg every two weeks). One is way inflated (just like that ladys' breast in 240NIZ's avatar).

Actually just checked and my insurance actually has gone down too. last year it was 1590 and now its 1368 for a 6 month policy. I still think its too much even for NYC. But I can't complain with the lizard (geico), they have treated me good and fast whenever I was involved in an accident.
