How commute cost works.
Frequently asked questions.
Should I factor in more than gas?
Yes. Fuel is only part of the story — every commuting mile also wears tires and brakes, adds oil changes, and depreciates the car. The AAA figure of ~$0.14–0.20/mile for these covers the "hidden" commute cost.
Would an EV cut my commute cost?
Usually a lot. Electricity typically costs 3–4× less per mile than gas, and EVs need far less maintenance. Try our EV vs Gas calculator to model your exact commute.
How can I lower my commute cost?
Carpooling, combining errands, keeping tires properly inflated, and driving smoothly all help. If you can work from home even one day a week, that's an instant 20% cut for a 5-day commuter.
