   Here came the Formula One again! The roaring engine was heard in the Shanghai International Circuit for three days from April 13 to 15.
  This was the most exciting news about autos in April. However, there are some other pieces of unpleasant news about cars in Shanghai. The oil price exceeded 8 yuan per liter; the car license was priced at over 60,000 yuan…
  The expressway was also reported to be even more profitable than “real estate”and “wine”. The average gross margin of the 19 major expressways in China reached 56.08%. Among them, the company managing expressways in Chongqing enjoys an astonishing 91.14% gross margin.
  When the Formula One was held in China, many car owners in Shanghai drove their own cars to watch the car race. People said they drove to watch the dearest car race in the dearest way.
  The expensive oil and extraordinary road toll might not affect the fervency of F1 fans, but some people felt that they could not afford driving cars. A man named Feng Yi decided to take the metro to watch F1 instead of his own car with his girlfriend. “My girlfriend said we could have an easy access to the Circuit by metro. The parking and oil will charge us a lot if we drive there. Actually, she told me to drive less many times because of the increasing oil price.”
  The Formula One racers do not fear a large amount of oil consumption and the watchers can enjoy the passion and speed in the Formula One circuit for three days. But they might be depressed by the traffic jam and high driving cost. Many fans bought an F1 ticket at hundreds or even thousands of yuan but scratched their minds to conclude how to save oil consumption and road tolls.
  According to the public security department, there were 225 million motor vehicles registered by the end of 2011, 106 million which were automobiles. In the capital cities of many provinces, over one million cars were bought and used.
  The large troop of autos attracts a lot of automobile brands including F1 teams to target the Chinese market. But the private car owners have to spend a lot of money in various channels. They have to afford the added-value tax, tax of purchasing autos, consumption tax, tariffs and so on. The oil cost is also huge, and hundreds of yuan will be spent if you drive a bit far.
  The joy and exciting of watching F1 could not be integrated into daily driving thanks to the oil price, traffic jam and safety issues. In the 2012 Shanghai parliamentary sessions, some CPC members classified four common bad driving habits in China –cars never give way to people; the trumpets make disorder noises; the cars swarm in front of schools and drivers make phone calls when driving. Standards are needed to make the clean the way for ordinary car owners and allow them to enjoy the fun they have in watching F1.
