If your commute is about an hour each way you’re probably spending roughly that much.
Comment on anon discusses car dependence

Who’s putting $200 of gas in their car per month, what you doing driving the root 66 along a weekly basis? The shops all of 5 miles away if it’s that.

Not having a car wouldn’t be an option then.

Trains exist

Places that are nowhere near a train also exist.

That’s completely dependent on where you live. The closest train station to me is an hour and fifteen minutes walk from me.

I did when I had a really shitty commute for about a year and a half. Crazy thing is it wasn’t even that bad compared to some of my coworkers there.

Average US driving distance is about 14k miles per year, or about 1200/month. At 30 mpg, you need 40 gal per month. Current price per gal in the US (according to AAA) is $3.193/gal, which gets us $130/month in gas.
Wouldn’t have to be crazy above average to get to $200/month. Or have a car with kinda bad fuel efficiency.
