Be thankful you don't live in the UK.

1 US Gallon of Petrol costs on average £4.56 ($7!!!)
The UK yaris will do 54 imperial-mpg which is around 45.8 us-mpg combined though.
But our insurance is also heavily taxed. I pay £2900 for insurance on my UK yaris which is roughly $4500. Just for insurance! Around 20% of this is tax.
On top of all this there is road tax varying from £20 - £955 dependant on CO2 emissions. (Luckily the yaris will only set you back £30($45) here)
And on top of this, we still have motorway(highway) toll roads!
The vehicle tax is also huge. The standard UK yaris has a 1.33L engine and 101bhp and costs £11200 OTR. ($17350!!)

And our streets aren't exactly "perfect" either..
