ÖAMTC: Last year, the Car explodes costs

for 2011 are Austria drivers back in the center of the load coil

"Few surprises offered by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2010," commented ÖAMTC transport economist Martin Grass Lober, the figures released today. "Once again, the fuels are the price drivers in general. They were responsible for about one-third of control "for Austrian driver means. A full tank (60 liters) of diesel, the ÖAMTC calculations result in 2009, an average cost around 60 €, made in 2010 from around 68 € for petrol. came a full tank 2009 or to about 64 €, 2010 were around 73 euros. Especially dramatic is, this development is for people who rely on their car. The current passenger car index shows that the costs have risen for a private car (fuel costs, car prices, insurance, toll fees, repairs, etc.) in the last five years by about ten percent. Alone from 2009 to 2010, the price of the operation of private cars by four percent. Wages and salaries have grown in the same period, however, only 1.4 percent. "With so many commuting flows now have a quarter of net income in the tank, criticized the ÖAMTC expert.

The cost of private cars moving in 2010 to a high level. An exception was only the first quarter last year. "Without these less expensive months, the year 2010 would ever become the most expensive year for drivers," notes the ÖAMTC expert. The average cost of private car traffic were finally only slightly below those of 2008. The extreme costs in 2008 can mainly be on the expensive refueling in the summer months back.

Also in 2011, there are no signs that an end to the stress wave in sight. "Quite the opposite," outraged Grass Lober. "Already at the beginning of the year led the increase in petroleum new record prices. "Average gasoline prices rise by 8 cents, compared with December 2010 or even by 24 cents compared to January 2010 can be Austrian motorists at the pump, despair normal." Just by the fuel price increase in January 2011, driving expected to about 1.6 percent more expensive, than in December 2010 ", calculates the ÖAMTC expert. Also, the CPI is expected to by the ever hinaufschraubende fuel prices spiraling increase compared to December 2010 at around 0.2 percent. In comparison (January 2010 - January 2011). will increase the more expensive fuel prices, the general price level by an estimated 0.7 percent "However, price rises have been considered not even of goods due to higher transportation and production costs in this ÖAMTC calculation, "Grass Lober concludes (Source: ÖAMTC)
