£200 petrol / month works out to 12%.
But then there's tax insurance and maintenance, so call that £1200 a year (maybe even 1500 as it is not a new car 04' 182), so more like £300 / month
So more like 17% in total getting to work, god I spend too much getting to a job I don't entirely enjoy!
Flip side, potential move to Birmingham and getting the bus to work will hopefully save me £250 a month (£50 bus ticket/month perhaps) so 15% more money in my pocket!
I'm so looking forward to a bus commute you have no idea, 1 hour each way along A/B roads puts so much cognitive strain on my brain , it totally wipes me out when i get home, especially in winter months when its dark, constant glare arrgh!!

I get a car share with a few colleagues from work; the driver charges £1 per each way so assuming it's a 4 week month it's £40 pcm. So 2.05% a month on my take home.
