You know you need a new car when....

...when its faster to walk than drive.
...when your turning it sounds like the wheel just fell of (oh shit is just did!!!).
...when it only costs you $20 to fill the fuel tank.

my car takes $20 and it's nearlly full xD

[Blak_Phoenix]

Lucky bastard! mines $70 to fill (at 117.5, which is what it was last time i put a full tank in). *cries*

$20 gets me a little more then 1/4 of a tank right now.

haha, 1.6ltr Ford laser PWNS all!

Hahaha! and the US is complaining about the price of petrol! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *serious face*

I just did the conversion, to fill my car in both countries:

In Oz: $70
In US $48

Based on my 60L tank (which equates to about 15 gallons)

....

[Flymo]

but is that with our price conversion?

[Blak_Phoenix]

Good point..!

In AUD to fill up in US its still only $55!! Thats $15 per tank fill for me, i fill up every week so thats close to $800 a year extra i spend on petrol compared to if i lived in the US!!

[Flymo]

Ouch!

Yea, a lot of it is because of how much tax the government put on petrol. About 45% of the price is tax, so if the government lifted the tax on petrol it would drop the price at about 65c (based on the price being $1.18)!

Your car stops after the coal reserves are depleted.
