Got to wondering after reading jdc's rant/vent below.
I often here about the cheaper price of fuel, compared to us here in the UK, that you lot have in the US but of course running costs for cars are more than just the fuel you put in them and the figure jdc said for his total insurance seemed high compared to my premiums. I've just had a quick look and my total insurance comes to less than £650 or just over $1000. This covers full buildings and contents on a 5 bedroomed detached house (current value about £450,000) and fully comprehensive insurance on a Honda Accord, a Ford Ka, a VW Campervan and a Maserati 430.
Age and area will obviously vary the premiums, what do you pay? To keep it non political we can leave out health insurance.
