6 miles to the dollar

So everyone talks about miles to the gallon.. but with the higher price of 93 I decided to see what that means in money.

So after doing some math lets say I average of about 6 miles to the dollar depending on how I drive, traffic, and various price of fuel. Doesn't sound like much bang for the buck - distance wise. Don't get me wrong, I love driving the car and yeah, it is worth it. It's just not cheap.

To and from work 12 miles each way means $4 round trip.

A trip to the airport is 43 miles which means $14.33 round trip.

An evening trip to the casino is 70 miles each way which means $23.33 round trip.

Meh.. I guess it could be worse. Just interesting to put a price on each "drive" you take.

You start thinking like this and then you start thinking about all the ridiculous trips you make, like depositing checks at the bank when it would take you less to mail them.
