Is Your Car Drinking Your Salary? Calculating Fuel Costs

With petrol prices hitting the roof, driving to work every day is now a luxury. If your office is on the Island and you live on the Mainland, you might be working just to buy fuel.

Do the Math

Have you actually sat down to calculate your Monthly Fuel Budget? It involves knowing:

  1. Your trip distance (km).
  2. Your car's fuel economy (MPG or L/100km).
  3. The current pump price.

Knowing this number helps you decide: Is it cheaper to drive, take a bus, or beg for "Work From Home"?
