You guys have cheap fuel.

South Africa

Unleaded 95 = $5.62 per gallon. ($1.5+ a liter). Highest in the last three months, but its been > $5 for probably the last three years. This is why hatchbacks with 1.2-1.6L engines (Ford Fiesta, VW Polo) are the most popular cars on our roads. Even the staple for trucks are 2.5 - 3.0L four cylinders, (Toyota Hilux; Ford Ranger). You rarely see a 6 liter on the road anymore (apart from an AMG, which is a status thing).
