I'd probably do a lease for something like a hybrid.
Actually, if gas prices go up much more I'm probably going to get
a small used econobox. Something that's already been thrashed,
won't need comprehensive, and just needs basic maintenance.
Silly thing is if I lived twice as far away and used the highway
it would take less gas to get to work. :/ What I need is two
tanks so I can run low octane when not under boost.

Re: 98 Jeep Wrangler and E85 fuel
What kind of energy do you think made the solar energy panels? And like
the panels we see powering the cell emergency phone along our free ways,
"just pencils out" building poles to each one.
