My wife's boss lives about that far away and has a rooming arrangement during the week. He goes home on weekends and saves the expenses (not just gasoline) of about a thousand miles of driving every week. Since he is only there four nights a week he worked out a pretty sweet deal with an older couple who had a spare bedroom. Mike |

(besides the loss of your time) Maybe it's time for those Japanese-style "hotels" where you rent a refrigerator-sized box during the week,that has few amenities,with communal shower and toilet facilities. Or get a small camping trailer.IIRC,there's a model that can be towed even by a compact car.Live in that during the week,shower at the company's gym.

Simplest of all - learn how to drive economically. Thats how you save money on ANY car, not just on one. You can drive like a and get 8mpg, or economically and get 40 some are naturally better at it than others. i saw a clip last year of a special economy run, featuring M schumey and barrachello. the two of them, and the presenter of the piece went out in this special economy-run car, and tried to get the best mpg they could arond a track. schumey got about 280mpg, barachello got around 220, and the presenter (who is a woman, and a licensed race driver herself, and lighter than either) got about 235. All 3 were in the same identical car, on the same track. |
