You will recognize as I have that if they continued to purchase such vehicles, it's because gas cost less in the United States than in Canada. Since it costs us $1.50 per litre of gas, we quickly learned that we weren't getting our money's worth with big cars. So, it's preferable to purchase a smaller car and to be able to fill it up with gas, rather than buying a big car and having to leave it parked in our driveways.
