San Diegans are paying an average of $6.10 cents for a gallon of gas. We are the most expensive city for car commuters in California according to Mercury Insurance.
Studies find we are spending at least 7 percent of our annual income on gas, which averages between five and six thousand dollars annually.
San Diego also leads the state in repair costs, averaging 12-hundred dollars a year.
Our city also often ranks second in the country, behind New York, for annual commuter costs.
On top of that, traffic congestion is costing us nearly a thousand dollars each year in lost time and wasted gas.
