The average spent by US households: $4,828

Your car expenses (including your car insurance, loan, and gas) may seem inflexible, but there are ways to trim your vehicle-related expenses and save yourself some money.

There are also a few other ways to lower your auto insurance, such as taking a defensive driving course to receive a discount or refinancing your auto loan to get a better rate.
