Hi, Guest
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.
