Brum Brum!

I started this post planning to make a point, but amidst the numbers and thinking about other things, that point got lost. I figured I may as well post what I'd written anyway, so...enjoy!

I asked my girlfriend how much she spends on petrol. She said $30. I asked how much it costs to fill her tank - $70. She has a 55 litre tank. She gets about 500 kms on a tank. Using maths - and taking an embarrassingly long time to work it out - $1.20 per litre, and every litre gets her 9.09 kms.

A zone 1 full fare 2 hour ticket: $3.70
Daily: $6.80
Weekly: $29.40
Monthly: $109.60
Yearly: $1173.00

It's 9.5 kms from home to the office. Lisa's family lives in Research, and on average she'd visit them once a week. That's 34.1 kms. She also goes to the local shopping centre, 2.5 kms, at least once a week. All up, there and back, Lisa travels at least, on average, 111.2 kms a week.

In her car, she spends approximately $133.44 a week. A weekly is far cheaper.

The End.
