I think most people just dont pay that much at the gas pump.. about $40 a week if you follow the statistics.. and lots of people are now averaging about 30mpg with modern smaller cars.
What is that.. 8 starbuck lattes?

Brittany, age 7, and D.J., age 12, ponder this question over dinner one evening. James, also age 7, suggests taking a really fast racing car while Christopher, age 4, eagerly agrees. Jerry, a really old guy who is used to estimating driving time on family trips based on distance divided by speed, offers to do the numbers. "Let's see ... the Sun is 93 million miles away. So, if we drove 93 miles pe
r hour the trip would only take us 1 million hours." How long is 1 million hours? One year is 365 days times 24 hours per day, or 8,760 hours. One hundred years would be 876,000 hours, still a little short of the 1 million hour drive time -- so the Sun is really quite far away. Christopher is not impressed, but as he grows older he will be. You've got to be impressed by something that's 93 million miles away and still hurts your eyes when you look at it!

62 percent of car owners believe car appearance is essential, 53 percent of car owners wash their cars less than once a month - and 16 percent never wash their cars. This translates into 73 million grimy automobiles among all 138 million registered vehicles in the United States. Even worse: 61 percent of respondents admitted to leaving garbage in their cars, and 27 percent say their car stinks, or used to, because of it.

No, it's not illegal. But here's the thing about Chinese laws. I wouldn't be surprised if it was illegal, because China has a law for absolutely everything. However, most people have no idea what they are and only about 1% are actually enforced. You're pretty much breaking 5 or more laws at any given moment in China
