Besides, there are better solutions: car pooling (what an amazing concept, cars can actually carry more than one person at a time), public mass transit (especially useful if they gave, or sold at a nominal price, state employees a bus pass that could be used on on public mass transit system in the state), motorcycles and scooters (and I've been there, done that myself), bicycling (which, to me, is a great idea since Mississippi is already the most obese state in the union for the past three years). As for me, I'd rather stick with 5-8s and bicycle 2-3 times a week and save some REAL money.
