In today's job market, housing market, and culture, it is rarely practical to move from one place to another merely to cut your commute.

If you cut your fuel cost by 80%, does that offset the skinning you'll take to sell your old house and buy another one?

Do you know a good divorce lawyer? That sort of housing decision could find you living single.

What happens when you have to change jobs again? Maybe you pay the fuel costs or get skinned again on the new house.

I drive the limit, but an often glad I have my 7,000 lb truck with a Smith & Wesson in the door. For all its rational wisdom, hypermiling is widely disdained.
