Those of you who switched from driving to exclusively cycling: how much have you saved in gas, insurance and repairs? (lemmy.world)

I'm slowly but surely transitioning from driving to cycling to the point I'm going to have to change jobs to stop driving all together. While this surely has many health and environmental benefits, I was wondering about the financial benefits. Those of you who have already made the transition, how much have you save by not driving?

Be careful about filling the tank three times in a year. Gas goes bad. If you’re filling up that infrequently, you may need some stabilizer. Or, get a BEV

I've read about that, but we've been filling infrequently since around 2020 (pandemic), and so far, no issues. 🤞
