So, how much does your commute cost you?

[Grandpa Jeep]

If I drive my most efficient car at 5.79 MP$, it costs me $4.83 per day.

How about you?

[not so Quikjeep]

$0

Company vehicle:flipoff2:

But if I did it was $2.91mp$

-Tom

[OrangeCrush]

Daily Driver BMW 9.60 and that = $11.46 per day
Jeep thing 3.33 and that = $33 per day

[Loki]

About $12.40, in fuel alone. :eek:

:crybaby2:

[TJay]

$7.87/day in my TJ =\

[not so Quikjeep]

I filled the van up today and my gas card stopped me at $100 bucks @$3.89 a gallon. I drive average 50-80 miles a day. So the company is spending 17-28 dollars a day on me alone times that by 190 techs for just the north metro/boulder(boulder techs fill up a lot more than I do). I put in and average of $25 per day x 190= $4750per day

[osirus82]

i drive only to work and home 34 miles so about maybe gallon/ (need to replace my oxygen sensor) half, 5.00$ only for commute to work.

[IntrepidXJ]

$0.64 round trip with my Jeep

[denverd0n]

Well, first off, that miles per dollar calculator looks ONLY at the cost of gas. There are a lot more costs than that involved in driving, let alone commuting. There is wear and tear on the vehicle, periodic maintenance, possibly the cost of parking, and so on.

Having said that, my best mileage vehicle (and the one I drive most days) has a gas cost of 7.57 MP$. With my commute of slightly under 15 miles each way, that works out to just under $4 per day.

[ColoradoXJ]

enough :mad:

[Leon Phelps]

400-700 dollars a month, I dont look at the commute, I look at ALL of my driving, since I can go to one of three places for work. Evans/Federal, I-25/58ish or South C. Springs.

Edit: To keep it in perspective. This is in my 2003 Toyota Tundra, 4.7 V8, TRD Supercharged (I only can run premium)

Best Case
4.88 MP$
$8.61 round trip to Federal/Evans

Worse Case
5.37 MP$
$31.57 round trip to the Springs.

[rmjeep]

$3.40
It does help that I get 50MPG in a TDI Golf.

[bsaunder]

~$50 every 2-3 months.

[mrutledge]

I use about 1.5 gallons of diesel on the days I drive to the office. This usually includes picking up and dropping off my daughter.

It's finally cheaper to ride the bus.

[Xtremjeepn-Cole Ford]

Audi $13.20
Jeep $18.86
Truck $33.00
R1 $5.74

[theirishavenger]

In my 4cyl 02 Grand Am= 7.59 mpd

[al24]

$.28 round trip

[zoriloco]

$3.78 round trip every day.

[SCOUTMAN67]

$10.77 per day in one of my ol' Scouts that gets 12 mpg on a good day.

Of course that doesn't take into consideration the quart of oil I have to add every hundred miles or so :P All the other costs are nominal (no car payments, limited maintenance, real low insurance, etc)

-Gary

[Griz]

$6.97 in the Rubicon
$2.97 in the Miata

do i need to say i've been driving the miata a whole lot more than the jeep?

[satan]

I quit $2.22

[OlBlueCJ7]

'96 Taurus:
7.03 MP$
$9.96 round trip

01 Civic:
9.73 MP$
$7.19 round trip.

We drive the Taurus.

[jredmond]

2007 Dodge Ram
4.50 MP$
round trip to work @ $3.89 per gallon = $10.09

92 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6
once I get the bike running 14.67 MP$
and round trip to work @ $4.09 per gallon (bike uses premium) = $3.09

[kfuss]

Me:
4.00 MP$

Work $4.00/day

Wife:
16.00 MP$

Work $.16/day

I drive the truck to work cause the $4.00/day is worth it not to be seen driving that gay-a$$ed Prius. :P

[Dagimp]

$3.00 round trip based upon 3.60 / gallon Gas.


http://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasStations.aspx?m=1&l=1&zip=80014

$1.96 on my Enduro.

[CapnCrunch]

$0 :D (no commute)

But that's going to be changing before too long. :(

If I was still doing my last commute (112 miles round trip), at $3.90 a gallon, getting about 52 MPG, my MP$ would be 13.33, costing me $8.40 a day just in gas. If I had a 10-mile commute, my gas would be costing me 75? a day.

Well with your vehicles getting lighter everyday with the rust falling off you should be getting better gas mileage than that. :D

My truck to my main job cost about $6 round trip. I usually make 2 trips a day (1 round trip to get there & back & 1 for lunch) as it is hard for me to find somwhere that doesn't taste like McCrapolds to eat for less than $6. If I am riding the bike or the Jeep costs go down significantly.

[Yucca-Man]

At $3.77/gal, it costs me about $1 to go to work...probably $1.10 to come home because it's all uphill!

Costs me nearly $20 round trip to pick up my girls after school once a week if I take the Jeep. $10 if I take the van. Frack.

[mikee_357]

3.30

[newracer]

I usually drive my TJ to work.

3.08 MP$

Your cost to drive to work: $1.62

Round-trip costs per day: $3.24

I am glad my commute is only 5 miles.

[SCOUTMAN67]

I knew that was coming! :flipoff2:

[Cut Up '75]

Mine is $0. I've got a 4 minute walk to work. Then I've got a company car...

2007 Range Rover Sport, I have NO idea what it gets per gallon, just fill it when it's around 1/4 tank with the company card......

[creepycrawler]

As of the last two weeks, right at 100 bucks a week.

[Malamute]

7.32 MP
$3.55 round trip

I know with cheap gas it would be better but I can't complain. That's 27 miles round trip.

Now I'm going to go turn all the lights on leave the fridge door open for 20 minutes since my commute isn't horrible.

[colombiapunk]

stripped taurus .48 cents. 1.75mi commute to work, but then drive 40-80 miles a day during work.
ramcharger .75 cents but then run deliveries with taurus

[Knuckelhead]

10.5 miles one way to work.
86 Mazda B200 = 7.50 MP$

I'm on pace to hit damn near that number when my shell CC bill for may comes in, in mid june. I'm at approx 3,800 or so for the year, total fuel cost.... as of last friday when I paid April's bill.

I don't even own a diesel. :shrug:

[potter]

I'm at roughly $19/day right now.

[TwistedObsession]

02 Grand
15 MPG
$3.69 per gal
29 Miles Each Way
$14.27 round trip
$285 a month to and from work only!

[JR4X]

My commute for work is also paid for by the company. It only gets 2.09 MP$ and I do aprox 200 miles a day.

The wifes ricer gets 7.97 MP$ and she may drive 13 miles a day maybe. It holds 8 gallons bone dry and she goes about two weeks between fill ups. It still costs over 30 bucks to fill that little tank.

My jeep costs a dollar a mile on fuel alone. If you calculate all the miles its been driven verse the cost of all the parts i put in it it has cost like $47 dollars a mile.:flipoff2:

[ni0h]

$12/day if I were to run hard. More like 10 the way I drive most weeks.

[cj7cramer]

Just under $4.00 a day for my 12 mi round trip to work.

:idea: Maybe I ought to do a hybrid swap for the Jeep...Naw:thumbsdown: ...What fun would that be?

[9fngrs]

[POLLY]

$0 I started biking to work everyday. Its a little over 7miles each way and only takes me 10min longer to bike then drive! My goal is to go until the snow falls again, hope I make it:D

[longboy]

$12.92/day if I drive the WJ, $17.88/day if I drive the CJ.

[Camp]

I work downtown now and still live in Evergreen. My commute costs me slightly over $8/day. I say slightly because I haven't figured out the cost of shoe wear I experience each day from the half mile walk to the bus stop from my house and the 2 blocks from the civic center to my office :D

It is 29.3 miles from my house to my office. $4 each way on the bus. No way I could touch that cost driving my dually at the price of desiel and parking downtown. My dually is getting just over 18 mpg on summer fuel.

[gmule]

$0 I started biking to work everyday. Its a little over 7miles each way and only takes me 10min longer to bike then drive! My goal is to go until the snow falls again, hope I make it:D


X2 I also bike to work 30miles round trip each day. I rode a lot of days last winter and plan on riding more this upcomming winter.

[Steve]

At the current gov't per diem rate of 50.5 cents/mile, mine is roughly $1.10 each way. In just fuel useage in the PSD, less than $1/day. :P

[scottycards]

I commute about 60 miles round trip each day. I get 25-30mpg on average, commuting.

So I'm using about 2-2.4 gallons of gas, at $3.89, which equals $7.78-$9.33 per day- $8.55 per day would be the average, times 5, so $43 per week in fuel.

50 weeks per year, $2,150 in gas to get to work, or $180.00 per month.

Bumping up to a 40mpg car would reduce my cost to $1,460 per year.
45mpg would get me to $1,300 per year.

[Sound_Man]

To freakin much is my commute cost.

[JeepWheelin02]

$0.87 round trip in my car.
