Same as Milt, I HAVE to drive a truck every day about 100 miles a day for work.

I spend 700-1000 a month on gas alone.

I keep putting of building this electric truck because the $8000 investment rattles me but I will be doing it soon. Then my monthly usage cost will drop to $100-$150.

I live 1.5 miles from my office, I can ride my bike every day if it would not thinderstorm every afternoon. So I drive back and forth putting 3 miles a day commuting.

Outside of work I barely drive everything I need is within 2 miles of my house and I mormally do not go anywhere after work or on weekends.

My wife trucks the kids around for private school so she racks up about 150 miles a week. Hence our loosing the FJ Cruiser and getting the E46 and hopefully a city of car of some sort (or maybe a E30 EV conversion) in the next year.
