Gar2Go currently costs $0.38 per minute (I average about 50km/h according to my car) which breaks out to be about $0.32/km.
Frankly I see it as a wash. Given that I don't have to pay for parking downtown but still have access to car when I need it, Car2Go is a great option. I don't intend to ditch my car however.

Better try that one again........... I get 46¢ per KM with that math.
