Hybrid office schedule

36-mile round trip, 4 days per week

A common hybrid-work pattern where time cost ends up dominating fuel and maintenance costs.

Short but pricey city commute

14-mile round trip with expensive parking

Urban commutes often trade lower mileage for much higher parking and toll friction.

Result: Parking can become the single biggest direct cash cost
