Cost of Commuting?????

[marianne]

Mine comes up with $795/month whether I use the estimator or calculate it independently. I don't think the calculator estimates are far off. Because our commuting distance is long, my entire monthly car payment and insurance is attributed as a "commuting cost". While it's true I'd have those payments whether or not I had a long commute, the truth is I wouldn't go through depreciation, repairs, etc nearly as quickly and insurance would be less.

Carpooling as I do cuts that in half -- to less than $400/month which is certainly more reasonable and enjoyable. Surprisingly, putting in estimates for commuting on the motorcycle only lowers the cost about $35/month.

Mine is $354.75 per month.

Not bad compared to some of you, but now when the hubby asks where all my money goes, I can tell him!

$195.44 per month for me.
That's probably right. I buy a tank of gas per week at about $40 a pop, so there's $160+ right there.

You only drive to/from work? If you drive elsewhere, part of your $160/month in gas is not from your commute.

I think they're missing a zero in line F.

It says here that I spent 1427.51 a month commuting!!! Did I do something wrong????

That doesn't even include a car payment or the occassional ticket...

You didn't fix the gas leak yet, did you?

Truck alone:

240.63 per mo
2887.56 per year

Bike alone:

68.31 per mo
819.70 per year

Mixture of 2/3 truck - 1/3 bike

80.31 per mo
963.72

Math ain't your strong suit, is it?

2/3 of truck would be 160.42
1/3 of bike would be 22.77
total per month = 183.19
yearly = 2198.28

Yeah but it took you about 18 hours to figure it out.
