发帖数: 1136 | 10 80miles/day = $10+ gas/day. $40 per week. And gas price is going up.
80miles/day = 320mile/wk. Assuming avg. tire can run 45000 miles,
and $100 per tire, this is about $3/week savings.
Assuming one oil change per 5000 miles, at $40 per oil change,
this is another $2.5 per week saving.
Brakes and others probably another $4-5 per week savings.
So in total, by not driving 80 miles for 4 days per week,
you should save at least $50 week, which you can apply to the rent.
Plus the saved commute time an |

发帖数: 60 | 12 I guess it does make a lotta sense to rent a room locally for weekdays if
the rent is reasonable.
it's not easy to find a $400-500/month room in emeryville ba.

发帖数: 243 | 21 You can also ask around and see if there are other employees in your company
who are also communting the same route and carpool with them.
That's how people does it in my company, specially new employees. They send
out an email to everyone in the office (we have a Spam address for things
like this), and see if they get any replies.

发帖数: 60 | 22 yeah, I probably will try it as well.
Found out if I take Amtrak, I need be out of door at 6am and come back
around 7pm, it's a little too much to spend 13 hrs for work... |

发帖数: 1136 | 23 Imagine you rent a room at Emeryville, *and* go to work at 6am,
and leave office at 6pm......
You will get a promotion in a couple of months, because your
job performance will be so much better. :)
Time is money. The time spent in traffic is the time you'd
rather spend in office to achieve better performance, and
then better bonus, salary and promotions. |
