    If I were to drive my car to work I would double the amount I drive per year. If you don’t think this adds a lot of costs then I don’t know what to tell you. If you drive somewhere incidentally sure, it doesn’t really matter.

      You can save on insurance if you’re not commuting for work, too. I’m classified as a leisure driver since my work is remote.

        I actually do work remote but come in once a week… Which happens to be a long commute 🤷‍♂️
