Just remember, thats 33mpg highway. Actual is about 27 mpg. My commute is about 31 miles (I don't always do it is 30 minutes). So 31 * 2 == 62 mile per day. I work 6 days a week, so that is 372 miles per week. That is appox 19500. 1040 gallons at 27 miles per gallon is 28080. That leaves about 10000 miles with other than work commuting... visiting family, going shopping, going on vacation, etc, etc. 10000 miles/52 weeks = 192 miles extra a week, although it is usually about 60-70 miles extra per week and big chunks for trips. And in the US, it is a lot cheaper to drive yourself than take a train or plane anywhere when you have a family. Nothing I can do about that.
