Let me play devil's advocate... Considering we know who you are, couldn't the 330 miles be made in your car, on about say 10 or 15 bucks?-- my numbers are conservative, I know you get 500 miles tanks.

What if you could adjust this trip. Drive to Sac, park, then ride the city transportation?

I realize that you were traveling as if you had no other means of transportation. 50 bucks for a round trip cuts in budgets quite a lot, and I realize that no one making minimum would ever have to make that trip but for a person with a job which requires traveling, even 3 trips would cost a lot. Then there is the what ifs situations, where a new sudden need appears and it is off hours from your location?

Okay, done with Devil's Advocacy for now.


I know if you did this many times enough, you would bring become more efficient, but an individual can only do so much to adapt in an evironment which does not support his efforts. California is no New York City where transportation is everywhere and at all hours.
Another thing to look at is, on a per-person basis, having 30 people in a bus is a heck of a lot less polluting that a single person in a car, no matter how efficient it is...
