There are hidden costs in driving alone to work every
day, beyond gas and bridge tolls. According to the American
Automobile Association, it costs an average of 48.5 cents per mile to drive a car:
this includes gasoline, oil, maintenance, tires, and depreciation.
Say you had a 30-mile round-trip commute.
At 48.5 cents per mile:
Your daily commute cost would be $14.54
Your monthly commute cost would be $305.54
Your annual commute cost would be $3,666.59
