55¢/mile approximates fuel plus wear and depreciation; pure fuel alone runs ~12–15¢.
The commute's real invoice
Fuel is the visible fraction; depreciation, tires, and maintenance more than double it — the IRS's 70¢ rate is a fair all-in proxy. A 14-mile-each-way drive quietly costs $350+ monthly, before an hour a day of unpaid time.
Commute math changes decisions
Annualized, this number reframes choices: a job 10 miles closer is worth roughly $2,000/year pre-tax plus 80 hours; transit passes often beat parking alone; and remote days convert directly to cash. Housing 'deals' far from work usually aren't.
