What's it cost you to go to work these days?

[LaRue Medlin]

40 miles to Florence, 40 miles back.. If I don't do anything at all other than drive to Florence and back it costs me 5.33 gal of gas at $2.99 = $16 to do nothing..... If I can do 1 auto lockout at $35 that will pay for 2 days travel.

 

[Brandon Hovater]

It dosen't cost me anything. They pay my milage and meals. plus an apartment. 430 miles one way.

 

[Ford Wheeler]

My work is 2.2km away from home. I ride my bicycle.

 

[Kelly Traylor]

I go to work on Wednesday and come home on Sunday.



It is 5.5 miles to get to the truck, 11 round trip @ 16mpg.

So, a little less than a gallon whatever $$$$ I am paying for it.... :angry:



Then I drive 2606 miles at an average of about 5.75mpg diesel.

About 450 gallons for the drive, and about 35 to 40 gallons for idle time.

Lets say about 500 gallons @ $$$$$$$$ per gallon for diesel.... :unsure:

I think that comes out to "I am sure glad I don't have to buy it"!



All that cipherin "calculating" made me thirsty..

 

[Gene Marshall]

Dang, Am I the only one here that doesn't work? 56 yrs old and that's just too old to work

 

[Johnny O]

I live 1.5 miles from my office, and it's all downhill. All uphill coming home, kills the mpg. :lol:

Seriously, I drive a fair bit once I'm AT work, doing estimates and checking on my people. (I'm a contractor of sorts.) I burn about a tank a week, about $60. Upside of being self-employed is that gas is mostly a write-off. For that matter so is the Trac. Still gotta pay for it all first though.

 

[Michelle Widell]

My office is my house... however... I have to drive to client's places of business to make money. I fill up a couple times a week.. sigh

 

[Mike Wilson]

Myself:

41 miles each way, 82 round trip to work each day, that doesn't include

errands:

My Wife:

60 miles each way, 120 round trip, doesn't include errands, either,:

We both have 2005 Sport Tracs, and average 20 miles per gallon!

We've had to give up the T-Bones and Ribeyes for Hamburgers and Hotdogs!!!

:angry:

 

[Jenn D]

30 miles each way, spend about $55/week on gas...just bought a new house (for the first time) and can't even afford to spend a little money on fixing it up and "making it mine". I had one weak moment when I considered trading the trac in for a focus....would have saved $100 in payments each much and probably that much in gas too, but last I check a focus couldn't pull my boat. Yikes!

 

[Chops]

$8.00/day, tolls included if I drive the ST

$4.50/day, tolls included if I ride the HD



...and I'm starting to work from home 1-2x/week, at a suggestion from the company to save fuel.

 

[Jenn D]

Dang, I forgot about Florida's little gems....tolls. All major roads are tolled to the max and I drive 3 of the major ones here in Central FL to get to work. So I also add about $30 in tolls a week to my total, bringing it now to $85 a week for gas and tolls. Double Yikes!!!



Anyone in Central FL remember when they put in the 408 (East-West) and had the $0.25 tolls ONLY until they covered the cost to build. HAHAHA Then it went to $0.50 to cover the new construction ONLY until it's paid off. Now it's $0.75 with not many new additions and they get MILLIONS every week. It's $2.50 to drive from begining to end, and it's only about 15 miles long.

 

[Jim Johnson]

Work is about 12 miles if I go directly there; 16 if I go to Wawa on the way. So on the average day, that's a 28 mile round trip, or two gallons of gas in the L. When the gas prices peaked, it was costing me about $6.50 per day. It's now about $5.40.

 

[Jacob Economou]

I drive about 70 miles a day (6 days a week).... Before I lifted my truck I spent about 80-90 dollars a week, and now I spend probobly about 90-100 a week in gas.. not too bad for havin lifted my truck 8-9 inches with 35's

 

[Dre L]

My sanity.

 

[James J]

 

[Kelly Traylor]

nobleman,



Think hard now, did you actually have any sanity prior to working?



hmmmmmmmm :wacko:

 

[Erik Larson]

$11.25 a day (But hearing blower whine is more than worth it to me) miss my Trac though

 

[Joe Rampino]

about 4 gallons per trip, however I often work from my house
