@douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org I think the money I save in fuel by not driving my truck and camper to Arizona this winter would cover the cost of any hotels I might need to stay in when I drive down in my plug-in hybrid.

When I was getting gas, the guy at the pump next to me had a diesel pickup. He saw I was driving a manual transmission pickup and got to talking to me. He used to have a manual transmission gas pickup and got the diesel pickup because of needing to tow and haul but these days he's really regretting it with $8.25/gal diesel and getting 16 mpg. We saw him down in Big Sur towing a trailer later so he probably drove about 100 miles today which would have cost him about $50. Federal vehicle mileage reimbursement rates are going to need to change 😬
