So you're
driving your car to work
just like everybody else: alone,
in traffic, day-in and day-out.
5 days a week, 12 months
per year.
One
way
distance?
Your Car's MPG?

But the
price of gasoline is getting kind of expensive these days.
You dig deep and know
it
costs too much.
What's the
price of gas?
Ouch! |

Based on
your information and
using the 2008 IRS allowance for business millage:
Miles Driven
Gallons used
Annual gas cost
Annual total
operating cost

So what's the big
deal. Here's the bottom line. Driving is not only expensive
to your pocketbook, its also taking a toll on our environment. You
probably think car pooling is a hassle. Well, it's really not.
Think about this; if you team up with one other person, you can
cut your out-of-pocket expenses in half. There are several
strategies depending on your situation. If you live near each
other, you can alternate driving tasks. If you live further away
and like to drive, you can pick someone up and share the expenses.
If you fill your tank once or more a week, you will notice the impact
(having more money) within a couple weeks. If your skeptical, tell your partner it's
a test. If it doesn't work, you can always go back to driving
alone. Chances are it will work saving you money, conserving our
resources, and reducing the pollution entering our environment.
Everybody wins and You Have the Power. |
