How Work Commute Gasoline Expenses Add Up

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average American worker commutes approximately 30 miles round-trip per day. Over a typical 5-day work week (50 working weeks per year), this equals 7,500 miles of driving dedicated exclusively to working.

Example: 30-Mile Daily Commute at $3.50/Gallon
  • In a 20 MPG vehicle: 375 gallons = $1,312.50 annually ($109.38/month).
  • In a 30 MPG vehicle: 250 gallons = $875.00 annually ($72.92/month).
  • In a 50 MPG hybrid: 150 gallons = $525.00 annually ($43.75/month).
