  Construction workers can usually measure stuff out by hand

  Why dont they use feet? 😉

  This is so weird to read as a European… Tips here are almost frowned upon

  Ah yeah the yaris is very popular here! We have one at work and it drives pretty well! It’s a hybrid though so a bit larger that the original models

  Now I am curious. What car don’t have?

  We gave a Suzuki Splash. It is still a small car but not even close to the smallest ones I often see around here.

  Sure its not as comfortable, especially on long drives on the motorway (speed limit 80m/h) but the benefits counter that by quite a lot!

  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?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cheap ones leave the best residue⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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
