- Too bad. We pay $2.50 for a gallon of gas and $65/year for registration.
- I have a car of average value and have driven for 10 years without an
- accident (although I have made a couple of comprehensive claims) -
- insurance $900/year.
-
- Every three years we have to get a new drivers licence - $15 for
- the photograph and another $35(?) for the licence itself.

- Americans just don't realize how good they have it...
