In Will's defense

I don't think the analysis took those costs into account because you're paying for them regardless of the trip to DC. We don't even compare car ownership vs renting a car for the drive, which I suspect in your new calculations would be cheaper than $312 you quote. The article was based on immediate out-of-pocket costs for a trip, am I right Will? Otherwise, we'd have to factor in the wear-and-tear on shoes to walk all over the airport.
