I have an 80 mile a day commute, so I get geeky about numbers.

Assuming 142 miles a day x 5 days a week x 4 weeks a month x 5 months to end of jan = 14,200 miles until retirement. (and that is assuming working full sept and full jan)
Doing a quick google search on rav4- it quotes 30 mph highway for a 2017- Not knowing your year, I assumed 28 overall(guess) = 507 gallons of gas x 2.65 (guess) gallon= $1343 in fuel.

Assuming you found a magical unicorn camry for free that cost nothing extra to buy, register, or insure, and it did twice that gas mileage (again- magical), you'd only save $671 in gas.



This is going to be a quality of life decision over financial (in terms of getting a place to stay vs. commuting).

oh yeah- I was assuming all freeway commute. You will find out real quick what the actual commute looks like when you do it in real time. For example- at one job I worked, the commute SEEMED like it would only take 30 minutes, but when you factored in being stuck behind school buses in 3 counties- it almost doubled the time. Coming home a different way, it took 15 minutes just to get three blocks down the street to the interstate because of 5:00 traffic (and the interstate was just the BEGINNING of the commute) arghhhhhh!!!!!

At least it's only temporary!
