Yes, we have the same spread out urban areas as USA and our petrol is not much cheaper than Europe, $1.43 / litre or $5.40 USgallon. I use LPG at $0.82 / litre or $3.12 USG but do use about 10% more than running on petrol
All of USA west of El Paso up to the Canadian border would fit in my STATE
Not very far - relatively - I have to drive about a thousand miles east just to get out of W A or about 2000 miles north. Miles of bugger all with the odd town or mine in between, we only have a population of about 2 million. The other 23 million are in the other
2/3rds of the country. Our big problem is lack of water, I had 781 mm / 30.75 inches of rain in the last year, some parts of the state get about 5 inches annually.
The Northern Territory would fit in California with lots of room to spare. VBG

Excuse me, please tell us exactly what Gunner's doing that is illegal? And be clear about your exact charges and what you have for proof of this wrongdoing. Take as much white space as you need, we can always inconvenience more electrons to transmit it.
And be sure to include your real name and full legal address, we'll need someplace to send the Process Server with the Libel summons. I already know Gunner's, he chooses not to use it here for personal reasons, and I respect that.
Talk about going off Half-Cocked - you've managed to do it on several levels at once...
Gunner isn't cheating on fuel taxes, his trucks are all Gasoline powered and he pays the fuel taxes at the pump just like everybody else - except for the E-350 Van that has the factory Navistar diesel, and that's taxed at the pump too. And I'm stuck with all Gasoline vehicles too - wouldn't be economical to get the conversion kits for older Fuel Injected vehicles.
And there is a program in place to collect Use Taxes for Propane, CNG and LNG vehicles already. And passenger car and light truck users can get a reasonable Flat Rate permit - $36 a year for all passenger cars and other vehicles 4,000 pounds and under unladen. Small trucks
4001 to 8000 pounds are $72 a year.

When you get into 3/4 Ton (8001 to 12,000-pounds unladen $120 a year) and 1-Ton (12,001+ pounds unladen $168 a year) trucks it starts getting expensive to go Flat Rate, if the truck is lightly used you'd want the option to go by the mile.
Electric cars they dont have a way to collect road use taxes - YET. Already in the "How can we do it?" stages.

But there is nobody there for much of the state. WA population is, I read, some 2,410,600 while Los Angeles (one city in California) is
3,792,621 :-)

We normally get 4" a year. We have been way under that for the past 5 yrs or more.
Indeed it would.
And you have a population of some 25 million total..and virtually all of it lives within 75 miles of the coast, leaving the center of Oz virtually empty.
Won't work. The Australians (perhaps smarter then the Americans) confine illegal workers on Christmas Island until the can verify their status and then if they don't want them they send them back.
I believe that the Prime Minister also gave a speech about "if you don't want to conform to Australian Standards then go back". I don't believe that there are any Spanish Language schools in Australia :-)
