Cost of running a Car

Ok. We're back after a long break with a post.


Here in Hong Kong, the government encourages public transport as much as possible. Therefore, the cost of running a car here is extremely high even if you don't drive it much. For example, you have to pay HK$1000/month (US$128) just to park your car.
You guys over in the U.S. are complaining about high gas prices at US$4.1/gallon, we're paying US$8.4/gallon, double of that. Insurance here is also very high plus many hidden charges such as tunnel fees.

So remember, never, ever try to buy a car here.
