conversation: User (Temujin_123): "**EDIT:** From the feedback, I decided to estimate vehicle wear/tear and depreciation from mileage.\n\nAdditional information: the fact that the bus I ride is hybrid, routine wear/tear maintenance (oil change, tires, brakes, air filter, transmission flush), and the KBB value difference for my car if it had its current mileage vs. if it had the additional mileage from commuting.\n\nAll told, the cost savings over 8 years is ~$8222 and the total CO2 emissions saved is 33 tons. Wow!\n\nThe cost savings (again over 8 years) breaks down into $3513 routine maintenance, $2709 saved buying bus passes vs fuel costs, and ~$2000 in increased KBB valuation from the mileage saved."
  Self: "Only saved 4k in fuel in 8 years? I spend 5k a year on fuel as is.."
  FireReadyAim (FireReadyAim): "I would GLADLY spend $500/year to never ride a bus.  Just think of the time savings..."
  moarcatsmeow (moarcatsmeow): "I would destroy entire planets with harmful emissions just to not have to ride the bus."
  pintman (pintman): "You use a lot of carbon existing...."
