My commute is 80 miles one

[jimmyle]

My commute is 80 miles one way (Carmel Valley to OC). Luckily I work from home 2 days a week. I am driving a Prius and getting around 54 MPG.

Estimated miles per year: ~32K

32000/54 = 592.6 gallons (Prius)
32000/28 = 1143 gallons (Accord)

592.6 gallons * $3.75/gallon = $2222
1143 gallons * $3.75/gallon = $4286

Anyone who is driving from Telecula/Murietta to OC or to SD should think about getting a Prius. One of my coworker drives from Murietta to OC in her Suburban for the last 3 years. I just don’t get it.
