    My coworker has a Diesel Excursion with a 40 gallons tank. She spends about $200 to fill it up.

    She is getting about 15 mpg but she is taking the metro train from Riverside to OC to work now. Unlimited pass for $200 a month.

    jimmyle,

    I know, I drive into downtown L.A. 1-2x’s a week and I’ve taken the Metrolink a couple times. Even though the company I work for reimburses for mileage ($0.51/mile) I’m thinking about using the Metro more often when it fits my time schedule. For a 200 mile round trip drive I get back $102 then subtract my 25 mpg (8x$4=$32) and I end up with $70. Of course there’s the wear and tear on my car so if I make 8 LA trips/mo then thats $560/mo = $6720/yr. enough to pay for tires, brakes, car payments, oil changes and have some left over.

    What the heck is happening? Don't they realize they are becoming just well dressed beggars when doing that? Why drive if they are too poor to afford gas. They should start relying on other means of transport. What are they doing for insurance if they can't afford gas?
