The gist of it is quite simple. Either you travel an inordinate distance to work, or you don't.
I'm curious about this in light of our recent gas discussion and the fact that gas has become stupidly expensive in the last few months. More expensive than before, anyways, which wasn't all that great to begin with.
Actually, if you work a conventional 5 day-per-week, 4-weeks-per-month work schedule, you can multiply your distance times 40 if you travel the same ways constantly to and from work. That's your monthly distance travelled. Multiply your known fuel economy per 100KMs for your scenario by your kilometerage (divided by 100). That's your fuel consumption per month. Multiply that by the going rate you pay for gas (either 87, 91 or 93+ depending on your car).
There's your cost for driving to work (in gas costs only).
Mine: 4kms, each way, all city driving. So 4kms x 2 times daily = 8kms. Times 5 days a week = 40kms. Times 4 weeks a month = 160kms.
I average 120Kms per 1/4 tank in town (indicated, not counting the reserve). That's 120kms per 10L, or 8.333L/100Kms. 8.333 times 1.6 (for 160kms) = 13.33L of gas. 13.33L of gas times 1.132/L = $15.08 of gas for the month.

one way? or round trip?
One way it's 32 kms even, 64 kms round trip, my sister and brother work at the same location on different schedules. so it's 64 kms each trip for me to take them to work, which is my work. only break I get from diving either of them is when they finish work, I take the company van to take my brother home, and sometimes my brother-in-law picks up my sister with his jeep, the rest of the time it's my car.
so, 64 + 64 + 32 = 160 kms per day.
so, 160 x 5 = 800 kms per week. not including any driving round town.
so yeah you guy can do the math for the rest. So what do I win ?

I used to drive 110 kms one way to work but then I'm moved from the country to the city and now it is only like 15 one way! Lovin' the choice to move now!
110+110*5 = 1100km/week (not including weekend driving)
I put 72,000kms on my last car in a year.

it takes me about 10 minutes to walk right now... after the end of next week, I'll have two possible routes to work.
1) the hallway leading to my 2nd bedroom (aka office)
2) the hallway leading to the living room (aka the conference room).
traffic's gonna be a bitch.

25km one way on the dot, all highway takes about 20 minutes. at 48 MPG(ok more like 44-45MPG :lol: )
so 25 x 2= 50 per day
5 x 50 = 250 per week
250 x 4 = 1000km per month
so 7L per 100km
7 x 10 = 70L a month in gas
70L at 1 dollar = $70
reality, probably a bit more per month, sounds about right
70L at $2.40 = $168 per month in gas, thats insane compared to a dollar/L

760.8km on 45L

Ya i'm like 65k one way to work. Sux driving from Hamilton to Nanticoke, the only saving grace is that the weeks that I travel which are numerous the car sits at work all week, saving me gas. But I think 65k puts me somewhere near the top of k's driven per day so far.
