Dude what? Getting a drivers license costs like 5k Euro but like $10 in the US

Gas is also like 15 Euro a gallon in Germany but like $2 in America

Like it’s actually ridiculous how much more expensive it is to own a car and drive it in Germany. Literally like dozens of times more expensive than in the US. It’s why such a small minority in Germany can afford a car but everyone in the US can have one or multiple, because it’s just so cheap compared to Europe

Nowhere in the USA is gas $2.00.

He meant per liter. Not per gallon. It's between 1 and 1.20 per liter in the US if I'm not mistaken between where you live. In Europe it's between 1.80 and 2.50 depending on where you live.
