More like 3 less bills to pay...4 if you put 'repair shop' and 'gas' in separate categories.
My wife and I have two cars. I work 45 miles from home, our immediate families are 12 and 20 miles away, and we have relatives that we visit frequently in our two adjacent states (and I'm talking about big manly southwest 6-to-8-hour drive states, not those sissy little "oops I missed my exit now I'm in Vermont" states back east).
I think we will always need 2 cars. We drove one car for a long time while we both worked at the same company, but that was a special circumstance, not a general rule.
