I live out by the farmland. I have to commute more than 30 miles in any direction to get to a major town or a place of employment. We have always bought responsible and high-MPG vehicles so that we could save as much gas as possible without having to sacrifice the beautiful area where we live. We do not have a sprawling lawn, we have a regular lot, on a small lake in the country.

I feel that my bitching and whining is totally allowed. :P
