Cost of Gas VS Cost of Food
So I checked out my current Geo costs since joining Ecomodder and it looks like my car costs me about $10 per day with an average of 80 kilometres driven per day.
My used bike is already turning out pretty cheap as I've only spent $69 on it for the past week and I predict it will stay under $100 for a fair bit of time.
But here's the dilemma:
Today was the first day I took my bike out for a ride with no designation in mind. Just a leisurely cruise in sunny, -9*C weather. I travelled about 10 kilometres 'round trip and noticed I developed a ferocious appetite. I stopped at a toasted submarine location and spent $7 for a 6" sub, chili and lemonade. 2 hours later I ate another large meal back at my university dormitory for supper.
So it got me thinking: is it more cost effective per distance travelled to take a car (since apparently 80 kilometres a day costs $10 in the Geo) compared to a bicycle? I totally neglected to take food and drink into account for 'fueling' a bike!
What are your thoughts?
