How much am I paying just to get to work?

With gas at $4.69/gallon, your SUV is basically drinking premium financial regret 🫠

Using the same assumptions:

45 min each way

~90 miles/day

25 MPG

5 days/week

$25/hour pay

Daily Gas Cost

Gas used daily

90 ÷ 25 MPG = 3.6 gallons/day

Cost

3.6 × $4.69 =

≈ $16.88/day

Call it:

~$17/day

Just for gas.

Not repairs. Not tires. Not maintenance. Not the slow spiritual erosion of brake pads.

Real Effective Hourly Wage

Commute time:

1.5 hours/day = 7.5 unpaid hours/week THIS IS THE REALLY SHIT PART

Total life hours spent for work:

47.5 hours/week

Effective wage after gas:

$916 ÷ 47.5

≈ $19.30/hour before taxes

After taxes, you’re probably functionally around:

~$14-16/hour real-life value

People love saying just get a better job while requiring workers to teleport across entire counties in 2-ton steel debt cubes. Beautiful system. Absolute masterpiece. Affordability is a hoax right?
