Lash, you're not taking into account the parking add-on, which used to be about $40 till just last year. Then they raised it to $125. So the price difference between a Deluxe Pass with Parking and a Premium Pass (which includes parking) is about $20.
And without pre-paid parking, I personally would NEVER go to the Park on a whim, because I'd have to shell out $15 in gas and $15 to park my car. And not going on whims means the price of an AP will never make economic sense vs. just buying day tickets.
