It depends. 38.1 cpl/litre fuel (diesel/petrol).
I don't have my vehicle rego stuff handy right now, however it is $430
odd
in CTP and $250 or something rego, and then it's up to you to get
any other insurance you think you want - whether that be only to
another person's property or to cover the whole thing. That can be an
annual payment of over $1K depending on where you live, driving
history,
etc, or as low as around $300.

I hate to say it, but we do. Rene Rivkin said it also. The US $ is not
looking good at the moment either. Not that our $ is up there- Canada
seems to be kicking folks butts right now.
It's funny however I'm told I need to look up the price of a Maccas
Big Mac and compare.

We winge about stuff here. If I could not afford diesel, I make my
own.
However lately not bothered, especially after moving to a place 2.5km
from work and I don't have to pay ED/Bridge tolls now either.
