Every country has its issues. My country (USA) has a few idiots who don’t realize how great they have it. Some of them even think that acting like a 2 year old and throwing a fit will make things better for them. (example: some idiot at a fast food restaurant got all upset and started yelling because they didn’t know strawberries were 10¢ extra) Sadly, many of these people have internet access and they make the rest of America look like a bunch of idiots.

[...] In conjunction with Hertz, the Nissan Leaf will be available as a rental for all its resident. We’ve covered the Leaf extensively here at Inhabitat, so we hardly need to sing its praises. The EV has the size and power of a regular gas-powered car but only costs about $200 a year to power. That’s about the average cost per month usually spent on gas! [...]

David just be glad you don’t have to spend around $10,000 a year paying health bills though, I do (live in the US and medicine, doctor’s visits, ER visits, even with insurance are insanely expensive), which is well over half my income. Debt is tons of fun to have, but it’s either debt or death, and I’m still just a young adult so not exactly ready to give in.
Health insurance alone is over $300 a month now, and it’s not even very good insurance. I’d take having to spend twice as much on gas any day over that. Even with my nearly 100 mile a day commute (which because there are so few jobs has been inescapable) I bet that I’d still save money if I traded more expensive gas for the nice health benefits I hear people get in the UK. Or do people in the US severely exaggerate how good the health system in the UK is?

I’m usually between 150 to 200 which is ok I suppose. I drive A 96 Saab SE turbo. It’s a 2 litter, 4 cyl so as long as you hyper mile the absolute hell out of the thing I can get about 30 highway. 50 miles of traveling a day, 6 days a week. If I crunch the numbers that way and throw in some city driving I get about $129.8 bucks a month, with fuel at 2.95 per gallon.

Still a ton of money to be losing along with taxes. Oh well, cost of living in a free country I suppose. It’s keeping me from owning 70 percent of the cars I like though just because of fuel economy. Either suck it up and buy a Geo Metro and tint the windows to save myself the embarrassment of being seen in one, or buy my Subaru WRX and hypermile the rest of my life but atleast have a little bit of fun with my gas.

Do americans have it bad??? No. I live in the UK, and the price of petrol here is $2 per litre, approx $8 per gallon, imagine that on your huge, unnessesary SUV. Yet STILL we are taxed on our little uses of fuel. Here everyone can only afford to drive around in small, slow, womanly hatchbacks. For a recent 1.6 litre engine car (peugeot 206) year tax is STILL $400. Yet you can still end up spending way less than me at the pumps. I welcome and tax rise…not that 50C/gallon will make ANY difference, besides… why should you get to ruin our world AND have more fun for less cost than us???? Altogether it isnt fair.

(also i am young and fit, so i dont benefit from hospital and doctors taxes for which i waste 17.6% of my income on, probably because i have to walk everywhere) What with insurance being $4,000 a year.

This country sucks
