With the price of gasoline on the rise yet again, buying a new car today is not just about the price on the window sticker - you need to consider the true overall cost of ownership before making your final decision.

To help you figure this out, Forbes has put together a list of what they consider the 22 cheapest new cars to own in 2013 - based on the winners of the Kelley Blue Book Total Cost of Ownership Awards. KBB's list takes into consideration a number of factors, including depreciation, fuel, insurance costs, registration fees, and maintenance, to come up with a realistic figure of what it costs to own a vehicle over 5 years.

Below is the list of the 22 winners in their respective classes, sorted by lowest 5-year ownership costs. As always, I recommend you use the free to get the biggest discounts on any of these vehicles.
