Considering gas is $3 a gallon.
How much does it cost you to drive to work every day?
We drive 25 miles one way and it cost me $3 each way  or $6 round trip

Well, let me see.

8 miles to work (one way)
5 days a week

(8 * 2) * 5 = 80 miles

truck gets 25 mpg.

80/25 = 3.2 gals.

3.2 * 3.00 = $9.60 per week


But, now that I'm unemployed it cost me $0.00 to drive to work.  


Oh, I bought gas at $2.89 per gal tonight.

3 miles to work + 3 miles home x 4 days per week @ 10 miles per gallon (OOOPPPSSS, I forgot it was a company car) = $0.00 per ever, I hope.

about 1 gallon of gas a day, just going to work and back home.

Bike:
5 miles to and 5 miles from college
10 miles per day at 50mpg= 50 miles per week and 1 gallon of gas.
1 gallon of gas = $3.09 per week.

Blazer:
5 miles to and from college.
10 miles per day at 10mpg= 50 miles per week and 5 gallons of gas.
5 gallons x $3.09=$15.45 per week.

What do you think I've been riding recently?



Course this is all based on the theory that I only make one trip a day to school. There are days when I have 4 hours between classes so I come home. This is just a rough estimate.

50 mile round trip @ 16MPG = 3.2 gallons. (damn that 8 cylinder Dodge Dakota!)

Regular is $2.89/gallon here today, that's $9.25 per day.

I work 12 hour shifts so only have to drive it 3 to 4 times a week.
