5/21/2008 9:38:22 PM

god damn... i might be looking at getting a motorcycle, because in a year or two, it would actually come out cheaper (including cost of the motorcycle)

$0. Employer pays for gas. Trust me though, it's not worth it.

5/21/2008 10:27:31 PM

hmmm.

Assuming I drive to work, then home for lunch, then back, for 4 days out of the week (drive the work truck on avg once a week) then it's somewhere around $400 per year at $3.80/gal.

I drive a truck with shitty gas milage, but I only live 1.5 mi away.

5/21/2008 11:18:26 PM

If you count the fact that I drive home for lunch every day with $4.00 gas getting 25 mpg:

Monthly: $300.08
Annual: $3600.96

If you count just going to work the first time and leaving at the end of the day with $4.00 gas getting 25 mpg:

Monthly: $150.04
Annual: $1800.48

Man, it makes buying this place 100% worth it.

i drive for my work, if i had to pay for gas, it'd be around ~$325/week, ~$1300/month, ~$15,600/year

5/21/2008 11:40:14 PM

I ride a scooter to work and class

$6 a month, $72 a year

5/21/2008 11:41:26 PM

During my co-op rotation I averaged $440/mo. in gasoline. It was no big deal though, it was less than apartment costs and I was bringing in a good sum of money. Wouldn't mind something like an XR650L for a commuting vehicle, even a street legal XR400 would be nice. I could convert my TT-225-R to something street legal I would believe, it has mounts for everything, and electric start.

The main problem is that I don't really want to have insurance and tags and have to pay for parts (switches, lights, tires, helmet for on-road, riding clothes). Basically, I'm lazy and/or apathetic.

5/21/2008 11:41:51 PM

Using my car to get to work:

$494.07/month
$5928.84/year

(thats a lot for only a 17 mile round trip per work day)

Thats a real bitch b/c before my company moved and made taking the subway a real bitch all I spent was $80/month on an unlimited subway card. Thanks a lot jackasses. But now with gas prices going up so high and my car falling apart I might resort back to public transit, even it if means doubling my commute (to an hour) and taking 2 subways and one bus

$573.44 a month? That doesn't seem right.

5/22/2008 12:50:27 AM

148.28 a month


but that's for the summer with me just driving to work and not school too

5/22/2008 1:06:56 AM

$50 a month or so during the school year.

5/22/2008 1:07:20 AM

28 miles roundtrip
Monthly: 322.94

I wanna buy a motorcycle. I would cycle to work but its just not practical as there are no friendly bike lanes.



Not sure if the caluclator is accurate. Try inputing a high number in the MPG, like 120 or 999.

if it really got to it, i could walk to my downtown office from my house (~0.75 mi), and hop the shuttle to my main office 4 miles away.

but for that price, it's hardly worth it

5/22/2008 11:32:37 AM

That depreciation/repair/insurance thing is too high for my 95 Camry. If you have a POS drop the cost per mile to .10 or .20 to get a more realistic number.

Except that if you drive a POS then you'll be paying a lot in maintenance.

They need boxs for a few more things.

Monthly car insurance and yearly property tax are some quick ones. Tire cost and interval between changing would also be nice.

I'm not so sure about item #6 on that form. The standard number (0.522) sets my monthly cost at $568. If I set it to 0 the cost drops to $130. That 0.522 includes things like insurance, financing costs, depreciation, etc. But it gives no real indication on the impact each factor has. So if I wasn't paying insurance what would it be? I'd still need to pay insurance even if I was driving 10 miles a month. Plus my car is paid off so how does that factor in?

Either way I work too far away to ride a bike, the buses don't run on convenient schedules, and there is no fucking way I am moving to Durham to be closer to my job.

5/22/2008 1:08:11 PM

if i do my car maintenance myself it goes from 250 a month to 54... i like that number better

I work in Outside sales and put around 30k miles a year on my car. Luckily my company covers a lot of the cost.

hahahha.

5/22/2008 2:24:52 PM

I think this site is measuring your one way x2 already...cause if i put in my round trip...there is no way this is right.

Round trip for only 36 miles is
Your MONTHLY commuting cost is:$604
Your ANNUAL commuting cost is: $7248

The one way of 18 miles is

Your MONTHLY commuting cost is:$302
Your ANNUAL commuting cost is: $3624

which seems more accurate.
