Gas and parking is about $100. I don’t expect the train to be the same as gas, but 3x more is a fairly significant premium, particularly considering the restrictions on an escape fare. On a door-to-door basis driving is comparable to the proposed HFR travel times (and I live fairly close to the train station).

Then you didn't plan properly, so that's on you. I bought those same tickets at half the price a while back and it's still possible to get cheap tickets if you plan ahead. From what you posted you didn't plan ahead enough.
