Tip #24 in one of my previous posts regarding my efforts to save money, was simply that I would force myself to bike to work once per week. I have actually done quite well with that and have actually increased it to twice/week. As part of the plan and to keep my motivation, I tossed together an Excel spreadsheet that helps me log savings. I was saving roughly $4.00 per round trip. So in a typical month my average savings is $32.00.
What I want to introduce you to here is a site named Unfocused Brain. They put together a site that allows you to enter your gas price, distance and your miles per gallon. Once entered, you hit calculate and it will show you how much that drive costs you.
Check it out for yourself and start planning better routes to reduce your mileage!
