Sounds like I ought to try that.  In one month of commuting, I racked up
$831.00 in gasoline charges (my primary commute car, a TDI, was out of
commission).  I can't fill the tank so didn't try to figure fuel mileage,
but my best guess is around 13-15.  Yuck.  I've used up my fossil fuel
allotment for a long time, I think!
