The circles of longitude, meridians, meet at the geographical poles, with the west-east width of a second naturally decreasing as latitude increases. On the equator at sea level, one longitudinal second measures 30.92 metres, a longitudinal minute is 1855 metres and a longitudinal degree is 111.3 kilometres.
The median average insurance rate in the U.S. is $1,248 per year, which works out to just about $100 per month in insurance. Assuming $125 per month for gas, and $50 per month to save for things like registration and repairs, that leaves our hypothetical buyer with $277 for their monthly car payment.
So a $200 per month new car comes in at just a bit more than a third of the monthly payment on a new purchase-or the what it costs for a so-so watch. Dirt cheap. Yet a $200 car in Canada is no stripper. A zero per cent lease rate for 48 months brings in a $199/month payment, but Ford Canada is not offering any factory money on this deal -- and a $1,650 is required.
