By the tone of your post, it didn't sound as if age/area thing is as vastly disparate as it is here.
We've got a 20 year old sedan and a 10 year old minivan for about $2000/yr w/ no tickets or accidents for thirty years. States vary, but many have add'l license fees and taxes, and gas taxes to support the highway system. Some stuff you just can't avoid, but if we moved to the sticks, the car insurance could go down 70-80%. We have to pay the premium on the premium to live in the nice part of LA County. Go next door to Riverside or Kern Counties, they may pay us to take the insurance...
