It's nowhere near that expensive. A high quality full synthetic costs around £25-£30 for 5 litres ($40-$50) although there are admittedly some more expensive exotic brands, though I doubt any cost as much as $75/5l.
I don't think oil change intervals differ that much over here either - manufacturers specs are usually 10k-12k miles between changes (new Saabs are 12k or 1 year intervals) although many enthusiasts change more often - anything from 3k (too frequent IMO) to 6k (my choice). A friend of mine has a 1989 9000 T on 220k miles that has received mineral oil changes every 6000 miles all its life and there are no signs of engine wear. Turbo is original too!
