Commute Challenge: Can U save more $$ than me?

Question

Can you beat my savings in American dollars? Even if you currently are driving go ahead and run the numbers and see if you can save more than me!

I ride a bicycle to work each day. At 16 miles/day that would be roughly $4.00 per day for gas- an average of 20 work days a month -so there's $80.00 right there saved. Throw in parking @ $120/mo. and insurance another $120/mo. and really I am saving $320 per month... oh wait - if I drove a car, I'd need another car in the family so... a car payment of $240 per month - now that's roughly $560.00 saved per month!!!

No Gym membership is needed - I ride instead - so not only do I save time and gas getting to the gym - that's another $50.

Total savings: $610.00 - that's just money in my pocket. These are averages of course - gas could be more expensive, I might eat more food, etc. but I think it's pretty close.

What would you do for an extra $610.00 per month?
