who knew that's what they call it at mcdonalds now...

$133.66 /month
$1603.92 /year

including everything.

A few months ago I switched from driving a Tahoe to a Jetta. I was spending roughly $20 per day before...and I know this because of those broke day-before-paydays I would have from time to time when I would put $20 in and it was JUST get me to work and back. Now I can fill my car up for about $21 and it will last me all week.

$100.53 /Month
$1206.36 /Annually

7 miles each way.

~14 MPG

Fuel at $2.45/gal

~ 1 gallon/day

18 days (9-80's)

Total fuel cost: $44.10/month ; $529.20/year

So much nicer after having to commute 30 miles each way to the plant every day.

$537.73 / month
$6,452.76 / year

But I do have a car payment and full coverage car insurance for someone under 25.

it takes me 5 minutes at 35 mph to get to work, so whatever that figures out to be.

$40.67/month
$488.04/annually

about $125 per month, ~$1500 per year for gas

just paid off my car and have full coverage on it but i don't recall how much per month that is

everyone did see the "round trip" part right?

$256.87 per month
$3082.44 per year

$90 per month to park at work hurts

Nobody uses the tollway?????

3.25 gas

1.50 tollway

This is assuming my worst MPG vehicle, daily driven (it's not anymore), with super-duper-premium gas @$2.70/gal @ 8.9mpg.

8 miles each way, on highway.

Monthly:$545.63 ($450/mo payment, $50 insurance)

Yearly:$6547.56



2007 Trailblazer SS with LOTS of stuff done.

$164.32 per month
$1971.84 per year

$122.50 in gas.

No car payment, and I'd be paying for insurance anyway.

I take the beltway, but there is no toll on the section (yet)that I drive on.

i drive on a small part of a section of the beltway that has no toll...i don't even have an easy tag

Doesn't cost a thing when I'm on my bike. Otherwise I don't really want to know.

$250/month

with everything mine is $766.28/mo, $9195/yr.

but putting in car note and insurance doesn't make sense unless you use this particular car ONLY for work.. So depending on how much your commute mileage is compared to your total mileage.. that can change. mine is about half and half.

so just gas and tolls:
53 miles commute round trip, 26 mpg calculated avg, ~2 gallons a day, ~$100 in gas for 20 day work month.
Tolls, I use 3.60 ea. way, so $144 a month.. $244 total.

however, to work i almost always exit i-10 feeder, since the BW8 feeder road goes over I-10 now w/o a light, and I'll ride the feeder to westheimer, that saves me $26 a month skipping westhmr. plaza, and on the way home, I typically ride feeder all the way until after 290, skipping westhmr and 290 plazas, saving me another $52 a month..


By doing that alt. route, I knock off $78 a month in tolls, bringing me down to $168 for gas and tolls.

But in reality, I vanpool, and I pay about $80 a month, plus the gas to our meeting place which is 8 miles round trip so that adds on another $15 a month.
