It obviously depends on how often you need to make those trips. The two scenarios put this way have been a log cabin visit (who on earth is doing that regularly) and visiting family which I'm guessing once a month or something.
You'd have to factor in insurance, fuel, the car in the first place, maintenence etc. to compare what the costs would be.
I've got no interest in this mind, don't care what people do, just pointed out that you can do without a car (as the poster said he could) if you've got decent public transport. Not trying to make any point or argue the case!
