[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 111911, member: 3485"] $3.16/gallon here ($0.83/liter). I commute on the train. We live about a mile and a half from the train station. wife drives me in winter, and I ride my bike the rest of the year. My gas cost for work is therefore negligible. I have to pay $126/month for the train. If I drove I'd have to pay $85 a week for gas and parking, almost three times what the train costs, so that's a no-brainer. Plus I get to read or nap on the train instead of stressing out in traffic, so there is a definite health payoff too. And I have the train cost deducted from my paycheck in pre-tax dollars which saves me even more. on the other hand, we drive difficult child everywhere. Between AA/NA meetings and work, we drive her around 150 miles per week, which works out to $21.50 a week in gas. [/QUOTE]
