START-UP COSTS

Just a quick note. Last Friday, I bought 5 gallons of gas at $3.29, for a total of $16.50. It gave me about a half of a tank. So far, I've driven 20-30 miles; thus I'm not starting at 0 miles with the car if I have to drive it.

Also, I just purchased a 7-day Swiper online at www.cdta.org. CDTA will mail it to me, which means tomorrow I'll have to pay using cash. I'll probably get a $3 day pass. Otherwise it's a dollar every time you get on a different bus, and I'll probably have to take more than one bus each way to work. The 7-day Swiper cost $44.00 (no tax) for the month.

If I generally fill my tank once a week, taking the bus is already cheaper. I'll toss that out there as my first personal benefit.
