Recieved the latest Royal Auto mag today and came across this....
"then … Considering the plight of “the overtaxed” motorist” who in 1981 had been hit by increased State Government charges on third party insurance premiums, registration fees and petrol tax: “RACV has determined … the total annual running cost for a Ford Falcon (3.3-litre GL) is now $996.55 and for a Gemini (1.6-litre) $712.30.” – RoyalAuto, November 1981 … and now It is estimated that costs associated with running a medium car are around $11,500, and a small car, about $9000 per year. – RoyalAuto’s Driving Your Dollars Survey, July 2011" Was a bit of a shock but not surprised as there are new charges and tax increases all the time not to mention being ripped at the bowser. |
