What is considered a short commute. I drive about 6.5 miles each way to work - All but 1.5 miles is surface streets with lots of lights. (Which is why I thought the hybrid would be a good vehicle - it's supposed to get better mileage for city driving than highway driving). Is that considered a short hop?
