If you shop carefully and look around, you can find an inexpensive car from a private party, and often the car will have as much as a year left on the inspection and insurance, which can save you a lot of money. Check Craigs list Tokyo, you can usually find listings there.
Gasoline is about 170 yen per liter now, definitely not cheap. Tolls are high. Between my house and Tokyo the toll is 2200 yen, about double what the train fare would cost.
You can find your way around on non-toll roads, they are not the fastest way to get around, but you'll get to see a lot more scenery. You can research your travel routes on Google maps.
