I would bet it's higher then that. Are they counting the cost of the car itself? Judging by all the newer cars I see in the morning commute they are losing more then that is car depreciation alone. Add maintenance, wear items, repairs, insurance, to the cost of the gas and I bet it on average is higher then people guess in a survey.

Edmonds lists a 2014 v6 Accord at $44,000 for 5 years and a common Tahoe at $54,000 for 5 years.
