Re: E-85

Steve:

You're right, of course, and all I can add is my own recent personal baby steps. I work from home, so most of my driving is now recreational--to dinner, hardware store, 20 mile to a park to paddle or hike 5 miles, etc. However, four weeks ago my car died on the freeway and I had it towed home. Although I have since had it repaired, I haven't really driven it in four weeks. I now take the bus 5 miles downtown to dinner, and walk home. Instead of driving to a park, I take an evening walk from home: 2 1/2 miles out, 2 1/2 miles back. I'm lucky to live on the edge of a city where I can north and be in the country or walk west and head downtown. I really enjoy driving less, and I'm certainly saving money and using less gas.
