Yeah, I've also been looking into building an electric car as most of
my driving ends up being less than 20 miles, round trip. Down side is
that it looks like most of the solutions that you can get out there
run $8,000-10,000 and it would take me a LONG time to make up that
kind of money with the miles I would put on it. I don't know how many
things I'm willing to try to make or figure out myself when you start
talking about playing with ~96-120 volts DC power. So for now it's
just a nice idea. I see that there are multiple companies talking
about selling electric cars here, and the price of the whole thing is
in that same 8-10 price range. Or at least not too far from it.

I saw 4.89 for diesel the other day, but paid 4.63 at the Safeway
pump, which is consistently the cheapest.
