I have to use my vanagon as a commuter vehicle as I can't get a wheelchair lift and my powerwheelchair into anything smaller. 16mi. RT...the length of the bay bridge (I live at one end work at the other).

<RANT ON> and no, BART isn't much of an option when the elevator at the nearest (1.5mi) stop doesn't work, so I would drive 3 mi. in the wrong direction to get to the next stop that may or may not have an elevator working...only to get to the nearest stop to work which is 1.5 miles away as well. </RANT OFF>

Gas here is around $1.75/Gallon for 89 octane if my memory serves. Down a bit from what it was for a few months. Thus $28 to fill up. Since I try not to hit empty, usually it costs me around $20-22 every time I stop.
