If one gets stolen then oh well I'm out $75, which is less than 1 tank of gas. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children) Where do you live that $75 is a tank of gas? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago In Europe, our cars don't need huge tanks, because they don't burn 25 litres to move to the next block. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bryndos@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) I thinks that's about right for the UK, but at least one of my bikes is considerably cheaper.

It ensures driving is a luxury, and promotes other modes of transportation. It also reflects how much the taxes have to be so the government can actually properly maintain the roads. My old Subaru Forester would take about 13 gals at most, so that would be $94 to fill an old small SUV. If the person using the $75 number, they could easily be from Europe. permalink fedilink source parent [–] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, I'll have to find a new wife if I try to put a few beater bikes in the garage.
