The other day I was talking to a friend who has just got a job in Adelaide. He has started working in a call centre in the middle of the CBD. Knowing that I was good at budgeting he asked me to work out the difference in cost between driving his car and catching the train. Now I will share them with you in case you are in this situation.
Car
My friend lives 30 kilometres from his work. He then parks his car for $17 dollars a day.
Now his car uses 8 litres of fuel for every 100 kilometres driven. Each day he drives 60 kilometres, so each week he drives 300 kilometres. This means he uses 24 litres of fuel each week. If fuel was selling for $1.30, on average he uses $31.20 on fuel alone.
Plus parking his car 5 days a week at $17 a day he would be spending $85 a week in parking. Petrol $31.20 Parking $85 Total per week to get to and from work $116.20 Or if he works 48 weeks a year this would cost $5,577.60
This does not take into account any wear and tear on his car. For example using extra oil, less time between servicing and possible accidents including insurance claims.
