>>1423356Well, I make 11.12 €/h and live in a socialist country. Many of my work mates who don't have even the irregular trip into the sticks use the bus. I cycle, but that's because it would take longer to drive, find a parking spot and walk to the clock punch. This is intentional by the way, I moved very close to work to minimize commuting time and cost.
The insurance and tax are low with such a low weight and displacement and indeed, a onions brand of a vehicle with timid drivers. Tax: 207.51 €/a, insurance: 197.40 €/a. It cost about 50€ to fill in 32 liters which moves me 500 km.
I should add, it costed 1400 € at 13 years of age, had to have major body work for 800 € at 15 and is now 17. Inspection is due, but I'm confident it'll pass at least once more.
>>1423313How much does it approximately cost to run this modest, by American standards, sedan?
