Here's a weird one for you,

My Focus is $742 for rego
My ACCO is $2000 or so for rego

Why is the Focus so expensive in comparison to the truck? One weighs 1400kg, and the other has a GVM of 24 tonnes, three axles and 10x (large and heavy) wheels, its going to do a hell of a lot more wear and tear on infrastructure than the Focus, much more so compared to the difference in registration costs.

Focus is expensive to register IMO using the truck as the yardstick.

Easy fix!… When ACCO rego due, send em $5000 to ease your conscience?
