Big US Trucks and Cars are more exotic here then Ferrari Lamborghini etc. because we dont have real dealerships that cover US models. Only chevy with the corvette and the camaro and Chrysler with the c3000 and some Jeeps.

Last time i filled up Gas was 1.52euro per liter wich is 7.75 dollar per gallon when my math is right...

And insurance is about 1800 dollar a Year for my truck

My girls daily driver is an Audi diesel that makes 40mpg and 700 Dollar insurance.

And my daily is a bicycle that runs on a bottle of beer

Gas is nearly $4 per gallon here in California, which makes it hard enough.

I'm starting to see more full size trucks in Europe, such as Dodge Diesel, but by no means are they commonplace like North America.
Its around 1.50 euro a liter here, x4 for a gallon (roughly) is 6 euro a gallon and then converted to dollars is around 8.50 to 9$ a gallon. Most europeans drive small diesels for fuel economy. Thank god i get my gas on base for the american price but it still seems expensive. But nothing compared to what other countries pay.

I was quoted from a german company for my truck 378 euro a month for full coverage. Then got usaa american insurance for 276$ a month full coverage. Im 21 and no accidents.
