Fly to work

Sounds like a no brainer to me. I assume you have a single engine like a 172 I assume you are looking at maybe a gallon or 2 a day. Lucky. Go for it.
As for what maintenance you can do yourself. Limited to simple things like oil change or changing light bulbs or tire pressures.
Let us know how it goes. I envy you!
