Oh yeah, I have been to Elgin many times. I'm in the Kankakee area.
An EV would do very well for my work commute, but I am thinking more of a fueled machine. I had a thought a few years ago about putting together an E85 machine and try for a high mpg record run. There are a couple of stations that sell E85 near my home. What reality says is I will need a vehicle that can be a daily driver, I live in town and the police love writing tickets for unmoved "project" vehicles. So, during the frigid winter months I am putting together a plan for a high mpg machine and will carry it out during the warmer months.
I am keeping the van for road trips & such. It is mechanically excellent and has a very good maintenance history.
