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

[TomT]

My workplace is about 18 miles from my house. With todays gas prices, I'm spending just under $6 a day to get to work and back. Thank goodness I don't travel on any toll roads.

 

[Jeff C]

School is about 4 miles away, and I take the back way in, so very little traffic. I usually go twice (morning and afternoon classes), so I guess it's costing me around $2.50 a day. I just filled up for the first time last night in over 4 weeks. Nice feeling, even though it was $50.

 

[Hal S]

6.5 miles each way.

At about $1 a gallon more than this time last year, that's under a $1 a day more than a year ago.

I think I'll live.

 

[Thomas Rogers]

It's almost 8 miles one way with with about 15 mpg. Thats 1 gallon per day, or 5 gallons per week @ $2.70/gallon. That's still cheap. Less than $3/day, $15/week.



However, I do a lot more driving than just back and forth to work (lunches, errands, weekend drivings). I fillup every 1.5 weeks, on average, for around $50/fillup. That averages about $5/day, day in and day out. Still cheap!

 

[Kevin Palmer]

60 miles each way. But.... I get paid for my mileage at .485 per mile. So I am not complaining. I actually make money driving to work.



I know, pretty sad huh?????

 

[jack skellion]

10 miles total. I live on a Navy base so very slow driving for me.

 

[Todd Z]

Using my truck, 21 miles each way.... Don't know cost..

If for the job, I get the 46.5 cents a mile or what ever it is..

IF i use the company car, they pay for it all..

[CHARLIE CARDONE]

33 miles each way for work.

Average $58 a week in fuel just for work.

Gas is $2.89 a gal here on Long Island

21.00 wk for DW in the ST. 30.00 for me in the Sable. This is just to go to work, no where else.



Before moving to VA, I lived on base in FL, I could fill the ST up once a month, and DW drove the Sable, cost her about 20.00 a week. Soooo, our gas expenses have gone up about 100.00 a month.:angry:

 

[Ian Cowpar]

I'm traveling 60 miles a day r/t, so I'm around $52/week. Gas on the north shore of Mass. is around $2.70

 

[gary s]

travel with the s/t rountrip each day for work 50 miles, cost zero, company issued s/t !!

 

[Tom Schindler]

I burn 1/2 gallon going each way to and from work. That is 1 gallon total. Costs me $2.50. If all I did was drive to and from work, it would last me two weeks.



On the otherhand, if I were to drive me Escort GT to work, I would burn about half of that. $1.25/day. To drive home without being blinded from headlights and the comfort of the Trac, I will gladly pay the price difference. Heck, if it was $5.00/day I would still do it.

[John Mastrocco]

With an average price of $2.40/gallon it costs me about 87 cents a day round trip to work and back.



Of course I usually run errands so my gas is costing about $18/week.



Then again - I'm not in an ST any more. But the main reason is my 6 mile round trip.

 

[Fer Echegaray]

12 miles one way, that would be 1.5 gallon round trip (avg), some $4.50.



But I have the chance to work from home when I need/want to...

 

[Shane Dinsmore]

It costs me 19 a day 18 dollars in gas, 1 dollar toll. Hopefully I will be home based soon though.

 

[Dave Pearce]

I also work from home. My old office was 35 miles from my house. With $5.00 in tolls added on to the cost of gas, I'm glad I don't that expense.

My round trip is about 25 miles, and I use a toll road. But, that only cost 45 cents each way and saves me a lot more in wear and tear and fuel for my Toyota.

 

[Paul Maurer 2]

Four miles R/T= 0.25 gallon=80 cents. If I take the LASIK Limo, about twice that. One advantage of living close.

 

[Jake Levin]

~75 miles R/T that would be about 4 gallons at ~$2.75 = $11 a day just for work

 

[Gary DiPietroSr]

37 miles each way, another 5 to 40 driving around to customer's homes @ 11 mpg... I can't afford to work!:blink:
