Toll vs no toll cost estimating
Currently, Waze shows estimated costs for tolls which is very helpful. However, I think it would be very beneficial if there was a feature comparing the estimated cost of taking a toll road vs taking the longer ‘no toll’ option. For example, if a toll road might cost $5 but saves 15 minutes of driving, based on current average fuel prices (typical fuel type and average L/100km entered by user) could a cost estimate for fuel used on the longer route be used to compare and inform the decision for which route to take? For example, the $5 toll saving 15 minutes might actually be the same total expense with fuel brought into the equation for the toll free route. Additionally, with the current ‘fuel crisis’, this could be a good way to encourage people to take shorter routes and conserve fuel where financially it makes sense to do so.
