I'm in Glenwood Spring, Colorado, and gas here costs 50 cents more than
the Front Range (Denver, etc.)  Well, so does labor (and labour, too!)
Boulder-Denver labor is $85-90, but one of the shops here that knows
old VWs and Vanagons is $120.  Everything costs more here.

So for one part of the country to rate the costs in another doesn't
have much validity.

I agree about "anyone who dislikes waterboxers...."
