Jake finally shot a commercial for San Luis Rides. As you may know from previous posts, he's in the business of selling LEVs (light electric vehicles). He decided to get into the business after failing in his own attempt to find an LEV dealer in his area after he realized how much sense it would make for him to stop driving a car to work.
Personally, I think if you work fairly close to home, between 3-10 miles, you should consider purchasing an electric vehicle. You can save a ton of money by avoiding gas prices because even though they're declining, it still costs $30-50 to fill a tank, depending on the vehicle. One thing to consider as well is the wear and tear on the vehicle, particularly the brakes and tires, and then the need to put clean oil and other maintenance. Anyhow, I wish I worked closer to home, but my commute is over 30 miles round trip and includes freeway driving. Hopefully some day I can find a job that's about 5 miles or less from home and then I'd get one of the bikes and save money, help lessen congestion AND be able to turn off the electric engine and do some peddling.
Here's the commercial which I uploaded to YouTube:
Do us a favor: if you know someone who might be interested in an electric vehicle, regardless of where they live in CA, let Sarah or me know and we'll hook them up with Jake and get it delivered!

What a cool company! Brayd and I are working on a company called Greenfueler that is focused on creating a marketplace and info for alternative fuels. Our site launch date is January 1st 2009, but he can take a look at the barebones homepage at www.greenfueler.com -- we had the similar experience where information and resources for alternative fueling is not readily available and, likewise, decided to do something about it.
