The difference is $5,000/month or $1,250/month. On any fixed monthly income such as retirement funds disbursement, social security, or salary it makes a difference.

It amazes me that you can purchase a car delivering 73 mpg highway and 48 mpg city driving in EU but not in NA. There are some mighty forces driving this dilemma.
