What is your total cost per mile tho? gas is only a fraction of the cost of driving.

I have a 4 mile commute to work, I've biked it a few times but only a mile of it is flat, the rest dips down to go over a river then is up and down hills the rest of the way, just over half an hour to bike 4 miles, I do however bike and walk most other places I need to go daily, that was part of my plan with choosing where to buy a house was that I could walk and bike and my short trip to work is why I bought an electric car and save my gasoline car for longer trips.
