Here in the US TAXES amount to over 1/3 of what we pay for gasoline. I expect in England the ADDED TAX is even higher.
But, if I'm not mistaken in England you pay only once to register a car. We pay every year. Tolls? I'n not sure what they are in England but in the US they add significantly to your cost of driving.
Heck-Driving in England? Gas is sold by the liter. They drive on the wrong side of the street. Gasoline is more likely to be diesel and I think they call it Petrol
Oh, and England invented the inch, the foot, the yard etc.
They went metric and left US holding the foot.

But we kept the mile!
Tax on a gallon of fuel is about 80%
We dont pay to register car plates each year, but pay annual road tax. For my old gas guzzler aprox $650 a year..........................and we drive on the correct side of the road. everybody else is wrong!!
