Re: Cost of living

Dont Think anyone has mentioned this yet, but compared to the us at least, petrol(gas) is very expensive, about four times more expensive than the us if I remeber correctly, not sure how ca fits in to this, but I wouldn't expect it to be too different from the us??

Also sales tax (called VAT = Value Added Tax) is 17.5 percent, which I believe is also high compared to the us, again not sure how ca fits in

EDIT: This is regarding the uk BTW
