I just have to LOL every time I read a post about price of gas and subjects on operating cost of their car in the US.
Yesterday I stopped on the way to work and filled up my car. It took 61 liters or just a hair over 16 gallons. Sign at the tanksteller (gas station said super was €1.07 a liter). Went in and paid the €65.27 for their product. Now it doesn't end there, my US employer pays me dollars so the true cost was $78.64 at yesterday’s exchange rate.
You don't even want to get me started about paying for all services and the cost of insurance.
It's not the big V8 under the hood that impresses my neighbor (although it does) its the big wallet required to own and feed it.
