OMG! That report did not include NJ - which has the highest insurance rates in the nation!
I just got back from the BI on 2/18. Gas there was only .50 more that what it is here in NJ. I say "only" b/c we have some of the lowest gas prices in the nation - AND they still pump your gas for you (it is actually against the law to pump your own gas in NJ!)
We are the worst state for car insurance fraud, have limited insurance carriers available (even Allstate pulled out).
Who in their right mind buys NEW cars, btw? Esp if they are planning on DRIVING it?
The last car I bought was my cute little 1989 red LeBaron Convertible. Gets 32 miles to the gallon highway when it is tuned properly and 25+ when it needs a tune up.
I think that report was tweaking someone's nose. If the costs in HI are higher than NJ, it only has to do with the SHIPPING cost factor of bringing cars over.
