I've been suggesting that I tell-e-commute from my home but I'm not
getting anywhere...
Maybe it's because I live 0.5 miles from door to door?

In Canada the measurement is generally l/100km or Litres per 100 km. For
example my vehicle averages 10 litres per 100 km. Which converts to 23.5
mpg. Not great but I live 3 kg back on a privately maintained dirt road
so I need something that can handle it. The 4whd and heavier 7 ply M&S
tires increases the litres I consume.
By the way - yesterday I paid $1.336/litre. Or the equivalent of
$5.057/gallon. Any of you in the US paying that much? If not, quit your
snivelling.
