Gasoline Natural 95 - 1,36 € / L
Gasoline Diesel - 1,31 € / L
Mandatory motor third party liability insurance (usual VW Golf or similar) - cca 100 - 150 € / year
Optional Motor damage insurance (accident, natural disasters, theft,...) - cca 400 - 600 € / year
Annual taxes for car "road tax" - only for entrepreneurs/companies - usual 3 years old car 2000ccm - cca 100 - 150 € / year
So if you are OK with only mandatory insurance, it´s pretty cheap compared to Western EU.
This is why most people in Bratislava cannot afford to live on their own and live with a roommate or a partner.
