New car running costs vary widely amid fuel price surge

The Environmental Protection Agency's data highlights the varying running costs for new vehicles, with models like the Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid projected to cost around $1,000 annually, while performance trucks such as the Ram 1500 SRT Hellcat could cost up to $6,800 per year.
