97% Reduction in Fuel Costs!

Thats right, Im only spending 3% of what I used to spend on gas.

Two years ago I was commuting ~85 miles per day. I had two jobs far apart. That was back when gas was $4 per gallon. And to really kick me in the shorts I was doing this in a Ford Excursion. (13 MPG was my record.) I consistently put $40 in gas every other day. (It was too painful to do any more at one time.)

Now, by leaving one job and moving closer to work I'm driving 12 miles per day.... in a 50 mpg Suzuki Swift and gas is only $2.59.

My per day cost in the Excursion was ~$20

My per day cost now is $0.60! 3% of what I spent 2 years ago!

...Awesome.
