I get a ride to work from a co-worker. I take three buses to get home, but I buy a monthly pass for $84.00, which I do use on the weekends. If I also had to take the bus TO work, it'd be two buses in the morning and three in the afternoon, but it'd still be $2.75 per day. If you can figure out how much of that goes to fuel for the bus, you got skills. (EDIT: Morning ride with co-worker is about 12 miles. It's gonna take me a few to figure the bus mileage each way...I'll try to edit it in around lunch time.)
NOTE: I count the morning ride from a co-worker as $0.00 because she'd drive to work whether she was taking me with her or not.

Gas, insurance/6 month policy, vehicle purchase /years of use= much more than just gas.

Nothing, since I don't work and my husband works five minutes away so he just walks.
