Expectations at these historic areas are for a huge influx of people from all over the country. Elabo rate plans are being made to receive them. One thing local travelers will discover this year, according to preliminary surveys, is that they will need fatter pocketbooks than before. Based on reports from the American Automobile Association, a Hoke County couple, traveling modestly, will be spending ap proximately $69 a day, or about $12 more than was required two years ago. That amount will take care of their necessities but not such extras as amusements, souvenirs and other purchases. Thus, a two-week trip will cost a local couple a minimum of $966. It assumes that they will get 13 miles to the gallon and will cover an average of 300 miles a day. The $69 daily budget includes $25 for lodgings. $24 for meals. $15 for gas and oil and $5 for miscellaneous needs. In connection with its report on vacation costs, the AAA has also issued new figures on the annual expenses involved in owning and operating a car. which often takes more out of a family budget than anything except housing and food. Its findings are that the average owner, with a medium ? price, standard - size car has an annual bill of $1.831. or 18.3 cents a mile when driven 10.000 miles. That is an increase of about 3 cents a mile since 1973. This takes into account the fixed costs -- for depreciation, insurance, license fees and such -? of $1,186. The largest single item is deprecia tion. listed at $773. The running costs, covering gas. oil. tires and maintenance, come to $645 for 10.000 mile operation, or 6.45 cents a mile. On this average basis, it is estimated. Hoke County residents are spending some $9,430,000 a year to own and operate the 5,150 cars in use locally.
