The extra heat from this summertime is adding like $100/mo to my bill for a 2,400sqft house for like 3.5 months. This is a hotter than average summer, usually its like $75 or so more a month. So if my two cars cost more than like $350 for registration fees, then yeah I'd be paying more for registration fees than I do on AC. Given the fact others here suggest its several hundred dollars for a single car, then yeah I'd probably be paying way more for car registration fees than what I'm spending cooling my home. How much are motorcycle registration fees? We should probably tack on at least one motorcycle being registered as well.

And that's before the fact gas and electricity is routinely 2x more expensive in CA than TX, which energy costs are a large part of the costs of operating a car. If we were to really compare car ownership costs in CA vs TX to the idea of how much I spend on AC, it wouldn't even be close.
