I Live by SeaTac(The suburb of Seattle) and commute to Bellevue, until I
can sell the house in Idaho.
I walked to SeaTac (25 minutes) the Airport and catch the bus to
Bellevue (2.25 one way and 50 minutes). I also had to wait 20 minutes
for the bus to arrive. Then walk to work (20 minutes, I am slow).
So 4.50 round trip and about 4 hour compute time. The distance is 17
miles by my GPS.
My 2000 Nissan Crew Cab gets 19 mpg.
17 * 2 /19 = 1.789 * 4.21 = 7.60 Transit time in the truck is 35
minutes.
4.50 4 hours commute time
7.60 1 hour and 10 minutes
I drive

Hi Craig,
Sorry got you beat easily... $4.29 here in Beaverton, Oregon... Um...
About 8 days ago... My regular station went DOWN from 4.27 to 4.19 and
back up yesterday to 4.23... Note that I saw $4.39 last weekend in SW
Portland... For Regular not Premium!
I recall (would have to check receipts) $4.59 on I-5 driving home
from Disneyland May 2007 but that was one of those stations where you
buy only because there is only one station and it is the middle of the
night and you need gas ...
On a side note...
I took the input from several on the list... Got my gas mileage up a
bit on me little Ford Ranger :) ... Still not where my 1977 Rabbit was
for gas mileage back in college but either am I :) hehehe
On the issue of driving vs the bus - The bus costs $2.05 each way...
And to get to my office a scant 3.8 miles (as I drive it) away takes 2
buses (transfer at the Tigard Transit station) and about 65 minutes...
So $4.10 at a time of 2 hours 10 minutes ... Whereas driving costs about
2/3 gallon of gas (@ $4.23 ~ $2.75) and 15 minutes each way for about
$2.75 at a time of 30 minutes ... So when the company provides the pass
(next month I hope) I will save money... But till then... Taking the bus
would cost me about $1.35 a day more than driving (I know I know...
Maintenance and all that isn't in there but I ain't Wirt and just not as
good at Scientific Reporting as he is :) hehehe
Just to let people know... Learned a lot from the posts...
Thanks,
Art

I paid 4.21 in Federal Way Wa last night.
I will make a personal bet that I have paid more for gas this year than
anyone else on this list. I have receipts to prove it. ($4.28 in NY
was the highest so far)
I drive a 2004 Toyota Sienna, approx 26 mpg (w/o ethanol).
Driving to job interviews puts a lot of mile on the car. :-)
