Michigan Capitol Confidential ran a story July 9 that cited U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics costs for household vehicle maintenance and repair as about $150 a year.
That was the quarterly cost, not the annual cost. The story has been removed from the website.
The story questioned the costs cited in a 2015 report done by The Road Information Program.
