suby budgets: how much does it cost you to commute?
miles to work(roundtrip) : 32
miles per gallon : 17
gallons used: 1.8
cost per gallon: $3.39
cost of commute: $6.10
car: 2004 STi (stock ecu,mild mods)
just curious of what everyone else is paying to go to work.
(i think my math is right)
**for the lazy---> get your total mileage, get your average miles per gallon, divide those 2, get your price of gas, multiply that cost times gallons used**

I commute 51 miles per day, five days a week. At 22 MPG (my calculated average commuting mpg) that's 11.5 gallons of Chevron premium at 3.29 a gallon. That's $37.80 for fuel every week. I paid cash for the car when I bought it in '03. That was just under $23K (purchase price plus tax and license), so $23K minus the $1.5K the car will be worth when I sell it in year 2013 is $21.5K... divided by 520 weeks that I will own it... that's $41.30 per week just to use the car. Another roughly $2K per year for maintenance, insurance and registration fees... that's another $38.40 per week.
Looks like the cost to commute with my WRX is $117.50 per week or $23.50 per day or 46 cents per mile.
