Very interesting. I didn’t know this

We need two cars. One of them is annolder microcar (Suzuki Splash) and it does fine on our roads with 80 mph speed limits

Cars here are taxed every half year depending on how economic they are. The more they use the more they cost

Personally I have 5 miles to the closest grocery store and 11 miles to work.

Its not crazy long, but long enough to need a car because there are no busses or trains and cycling or scooters isn’t always safe in the weather that we get here.

My confusion though is, why cars over there use so much more gas when, as you say, people need them. I’d assume that smaller more economical cars would be more popular in a country where distances are long

Further more, I think that the issue about not affording food, comes down to wages and not gas prices

Same here

The money I would save on fuel would be the same that I’d have to pay to pay off a new small EV.

My only concern is that I’d have to buy a larger car than that, to be able to drive the distances that I some times do in my diesel car.

But I’m almost willing to have to charge more often, than spend money on a more expensive one

Almost $12 pr gallon here, but that’s in Europe too (I assume you are too?)

My calculations may be wrong but here in northern Europe we pay double that

About time people in the us pay what the rest of us have for decades
