Wow the FUel is expensive but the diesel is about the same i think not withstanding teh exchange rate though.

The TAC insurance is not vehicle insurance or property damage insurance or 3rd party insurance for that matter, only personal injury insurance and is built into the yearly registration of the car (about 50% of the cost of rego) We pay about $650 a year to the Government for Vehicle Registration and car insurance from a private provider on top of that.

Insurance for a Nissan Patrol will be anywhere from $800 per year for a rating 1 40 year old in a GUIV worth $40k to $2,500 for an 18 year old on provisional license for a GQ worth 10k! Glad i'm not a young buck any more. Insane!
