Hehehe, Mr. Branch responded to my letter today:

SUGGESTIONS TO SAVE FUEL MAY NOT BE PRACTICAL FOR ALL

In response to Brenda Hebert's letter to the editor on Aug. 27 -- thank you for your response but it may be important to know that for those of us who travel to work 30+ minutes one way, walking, jogging, rollerblading, rollerskating skateboarding and telecommunicating are all good but impractical forms of transportation for that distance.
As for fuel-efficient vehicles -- scooters, mopeds, motorcycles, carpools and public transportation -- it would be nice if the funds where available to purchase one of those items when not paying other important bills or if there were other co-workers or public transportation that was running at 5 a.m.
As for moving somewhere else, I have no desire to move elsewhere.

(BTW -- IF anyone here would like to e-mail a response to this thread to the editor of our local paper, feel free! letters@thedailyworld.com )
