This page will calculate how much your daily commute by car costs.

Assumptions
We assume that you work 5 days per week and have 2 weeks of vacation. This amounts to 250 work days per year. If you work a different amount of days, just look at the daily cost and multiply accordingly.

Efficiency / MPG
Keep in mind that people don't usually get the advertised fuel efficiency for their car. To calculate your actual miles per gallon, reset your trip meter when you have a full tank. The next time you fill up your car, divide the number of miles you've driven with the number of gallons you just put in your tank. Note that you need to refill the tank completely for this to work.

Other Costs
This only calculates the price for gasoline and parking. Other costs associated with owning a car (insurance, taxes, value depreciation, tickets, etc.) are not included.
