If it's only for the OP's work commute, it won't even be $15 a month -- more like 20 work days a month times 50 cents = $10 a month.

I would certainly pay the 50 cents per work day, but then I love my 5-minute commute!

my commute is 12 miles in 45 minute, and when im in the field 45 minutes is 57 miles

hahaha...yes, I don't get frustrated with simple nuisance like traffic, there are more problems in the world, so my 15 minutes is not a big deal for me...at the same time I didn't want to put my car into bad shape for a hefty repair cost!

For me, it depends on the price of the toll and the amount of time saved. The one in the OP is a no-brainer. Fifty cents to save 15 minutes? Absolutely! Go get yourself some rolls of half dollars next time you're at the bank, and start taking the toll road.
