At the moment I'm doing slightly under 500 miles per week.  My work is
around 47 miles away, one way, and they currently want me in the office
daily.  I've been getting roughly 30mpg (damned good for a twelve-year-old
240SX) and I'm still going through about 1.5 tanks per week.

I really want to work from home a couple of days a week; it'll save wear and
tear on me, not to mention lots of gas and about six hours of commuting.
But since I started only five weeks ago, I understand that they want to see
my face daily.

Believe me, if there were decent public transportation here in Lala Land,
I would use it.  Unfortunately, taking the bus would make my roughly three-
hour round trip a six-hour one, or more, and there is just nothing else.
So a car it is.  Siiigh.
