In 2011, the trucks Canadians most often bought (according to DesRosiers Automotive Consultants) included pick-up trucks, a minivan, SUVs and crossovers. As varied as the trucks are, so too is the fuel consumption which is why we've included the yearly gas needed to run the truck each year if you're in the market to buy.
Based on driving 20 000 km per year, the fuel consumption (litres used per year) comes from Natural Resources Canada. Check out today's gas prices to get a rough idea on how much money will be spent each year on gas.

While budgeting for the gas you'll need to get around is a good idea, don't forget to consider the
cost of auto insurance as well. The cost of auto insurance varies considerably between vehicle make and insurer, so getting competing car insurance quotes from multiple providers is the best way to ensure you are getting the best auto insurance price.
