I lived on a rural route when I was a kid, and spent way too much time riding on those danged cattle cars. We rarely got to more than 30 or so mph, and even out in the country, the primary mpg problem was all the stop n go.

I wanted to ride my bicycle the 1.5 miles to school, but when my parents asked about it, they strongly hinted that they needed to drive us or have us ride the bus. So... I ended up getting up before 5 am in order to catch a bus on its way OUT on its route.
