Red Rover - '01 Nissan Altima GXE

24 mile roundtrip to work .. 120 Miles / week 27 MPG
would be about 4.4 gal / week.

what about $ / mile as a measure?
$3.69 ($/Gal) dividedby 27 (Mile/Gal) = 0.136 $ / Mile
times 24miles / day to work and back = $3.28 / day.

GAUD that suprises me... if i got a bike for $100 - i would need to ride to work 30 days to "pay" for the bike in saved gas..
I have to explore that more... interesting had not thought of it that way.
