Save Thousands of Euro by switching to Burkesbus

The cost of running a typical  family car has passed the €100-a-week mark for the first time. Hard-pressed motorists will have to fork out an additional €400 this year because of a raft of extra costs imposed by the Government.

Hikes in petrol, diesel, car tax, VAT, carbon taxes and the insurance levy to prop up the Quinn Group are responsible for the extra costs.The real running cost of a typical car, based on an Irish Indepent investigation, will run to €5,251 for this year; up more than €400 on the €4,846 cost for 2011.
