Glad to hear you mention that, Lionel.  I think of our 120V  
distribution system as nearly ubiquitous, compared to, say, that of  
hydrogen, CNG or even gasoline.  Maybe even methane.  But I forget  
that the public impression may be different when people hear that  
they "have to plug it in."

Do me an experiment, Lionel.  For a month or so, push your trip  
odometer button so as to zero it every time you start your car.   
Then, every time you stop your car for the night, look at the  
odometer.  Just look.  You don't need to make any fancy records, you  
just need to see how many miles you drive in a day, every day, day  
after day.  Your mind will form an impression, and that impression is  
what we want to see, not the facts.  So just look.

After you've developed a habit of doing this, so that you have built  
up a mental impression of how many miles you drive in a day, write  
back and let us know.  I'll bet someone will be surprised.
