That would do for my commute, 0.9 miles each way.
It allows running a fan in sunny weather. The more the Sun is cooking the car, the more power there is, so that works out nicely.
It helps with long-term parking, for example at an airport. It's annoying to return to a car that won't respond to a key fob and has lost all the settings.
- cortesoft 7y agoMan your commute is that short, and you drive?
- souprock 7y agoI drive if the Sun is beating down or there is a thunderstorm. Sometimes I get dropped off, then walk home later in nicer weather. I also drive when I don't have 20 minutes to spare; the drive is only 3 minutes.
- jws 7y agoI used to drive for a much shorter commute. At the time I could have been urgently summoned to a site 30 miles away at any time so I had to be prepared. I ran out of gas on my way home one night. If you never drive past a gas station and only fill up every month or two it’s easy to forget.
- grecy 7y agoWow, that's amazing. My commute was about 6 miles, and I rode my bike 365 days a year for 4 years. Even in the winter. In the Yukon. -48C one nice morning.
- ip26 7y agoYikes, 365 days a year? I don't envy that work schedule.
- lultimouomo 7y agoLook at the bright side, in 4 years he's bound to have had a free day on February, 29th!
- grecy 7y agoI rode into town on the weekends :) - or went on trail rides in the mountains behind my house.
