QotW: My Commute
How do you travel to and from work - personal vehicle, bus, subway/train, pedal power? What does it cost you per week in gas or fares?

I drive to work Monday through Friday. I'll make myself cry if I try to figure out how much gas it takes. I drive about ten miles one way, but 1-3 times a week, I go to the gym with my mom... and that requires picking her up, going to the gym, taking her home, then going home. Then, Tuesday nights I have community band practice, which adds on another 10 miles total for the day.
if I go out, I like to drive because I get car sick pretty easily and driving prevents that. I'm not gonna think about the gas involved.

20*5 = 100 Miles/Week. The bureau of transportation statistics</a> estimates the 2006 average fuel efficiency of US passenger cars at 22.6mpg. You'd need 4.44 gallons/week. The current average price of regular gasoline in Honolulu is $4.385/gal according to AAA Fuelguage. I'd estimate you are spending $19.50/week on fuel to commute to and from work. How many hours of work does it take you to make that?
