And it's one of the major arterials in Sydney.
Rego inc. CTP in Sydney for me is around the $650 a year mark ... current rego only fees from RTA is $437 for a vehicle 1505-2504kg in weight. And if it is for business use .... add another $220 on top of that for the rego.
I wish I only needed to drive 20,000km a year ... my wife does about 30,000km in the Territory ... and I can do anywhere between 50,000-75,000km a year around metro ... it just depends ... lastely it has been lower though as I haven't been working my 2nd job as much.

Ok, thanks for that.
It seems that your rego is more than ours, but this is offset by a bit (not enough I admit) by the fact your fuel is cheaper. How this balances out in comparison to other factors such as average income and additional costs of living I am not sure, it would be good to have a look but I do not have the time at the moment.
