The AAA keeps tabs on what it costs us to drive. When they
released their last report on the matter in April 2012, they determined we
spend between 45 and 75 cents every time we put a mile on our odometers. Most
of us don’t consider what a trip will cost us before we take it. Sure, we moan
at the gas pump when it’s time to replace the gas we just used, but that’s not
the same thing. When we lived in England, I didn’t drive. I frequently caught
rides with generous friends who were going the same way. When I did, I’d look
up the route on Google Maps, because I could also see what it cost my friends to
drive me there. That way I could offer a fair amount for mileage they put on
their cars as well as for the petrol. I wish Google Maps was that helpful here.
