What a waste of $18.68
According to the IRS, it now costs 48.5 cents per mile to drive. (Most people falsely think that driving is only the cost of gas. That’s like saying the cost of using software is only buying it. Three letters: TCO)
Well, let’s add the usual Bay Area markup of 15% to that, because everything (not just housing) costs more. So that’s 55.775 cents per mile.
Now, let’s look at the 33.5 miles round trip that I drove this morning to an appointment that was scheduled incorrectly, and now I must return to tomorrow morning instead.
What a waste of $18.68, and an hour and fifteen of my life.
