At least living out of the metro area, we get a discount on the rego, but any increase really sucks. Cost of living going up and no pay increases lately. All fun and games. Quote:

Congrats lol, I should have said 6 cylinder, here 6cyl is ~$800, 8cyl is ~$1000 and 4cyl is $650.
All it says there is that the average cost has risen to $476..i'm guessing the average family car is a 6 cylinder (are your costs calculated by number of cylinders?) |

6 cyl falcon = $735! thats the old figure.
adelaide's cost of living may be lower than the eastern states but the gap is becoming smaller, and the downside is you have to live in adelaide! |

there should be no diff with types of engines, you pay more tax by buying more fuel when you use it as it uses more. Simple as that.
