Hmm. 15000 miles at 12mpg. That's 1250 gallons. At nominally $3/gal,
that's 3750. On gasoline cost alone, 10 years would buy you a nice EV -
model 3 or Bolt, for example. Ok, I'm not being quite fair since you do
have to pay for electricity. But you also would have less maintenance.
You know the arguments, of course :)

Well then ..... highest in the country it $58.7 a gallon.
6000 miles divided by 30 mpg is 200 gallons at 59 cents that's $116
Let's try the correct numbers. California currently has 61.2 cents per gallon
+ 18.4 federal + state sales tax. Total is about 85 cents per gallon
(depending a little on price of the gas since sales tax varies by gas price).
She gets about 20 mpg (OK, she does NOT drive efficiently and it's almost
exclusively around town), so 300 gallons per year or about $255 per year.
However since we're only talking about the state tax portion, it's almost
exactly $200. And yes my original statement about my wife and her car was
based on the total gas tax not just the state gas tax.
I on the other hand drive about 15,000 miles per year. That would be far
higher if I did not take public transportation to work whenever my schedule
allowed. My truck gets about 12 mpg, so 1,250 gallons or $1,062.50 total of
which $832.50 is state tax.
As I said, I WISH I was only paying $200 per year in state gas tax.
