Maintenance costs also vary, says Runzheimer. Assuming normal service and maintenance on a vehicle driven 96,000 kms over four years, these costs can range fro a high of 3.05 cents-per-km in Toronto and Vancouver to a low of 2.46-cents-per-km in Charlottetown.
Licence and vehicle registration fees are also a big factor in annual costs, with Montreal drivers having to pay $256 a year and those in Edmonton and Calgary only $53.
