I thought your "fuel tax" was the driving, but congestion tax is just another part of it?
I suspect those in the country do log more miles total driving, though am still not sure the total expense of a car in the country exceeds that of a car in the city, and, as you point out, there are lots of other nifty expenses in the city. If your "congestion tax" just means cost of driving, well, ok, great, lovely, probably still wrong, but I understand it.
