What are your transportation costs for getting to gaming meet ups?

A conversation got into rising costs, including gas. I recall that I had times where I took a break from gaming for one to a few months at a time. I was able to go another 2 to 3.5 weeks before I normally would have to refill on gasoline! 😲 Makes sense since for one case, it was 15 minutes one day, 30 minutes round trip, multiplied by 3 times per week. That's 1.5 hours on local roads. 6 hours in a given month! I do have a few of them like conventions, monthly ones, or every few months or so that would incur toll fees (I didn't have to take those roads, but the savings in time wasn't trivial).

I'm wondering if folks keep track of their transportation costs related to the hobby and would care to share this info! Buying games from the FLGS. Parking. Toll roads. Gas. Public transport tickets/passes (bus, subway, train, etc.)
