Well, the urban history list rejected the query because they don't allow
questions, only "substantive" postings. Snobs.

Charlie Komanoff, who made his name exposing the economic absurdities of
nuclear power, has been working on cars a lot lately. He has lots of
numbers on hidden costs of driving that are probably relevant to this line
of inquiry. He's at <kea@xxxxxxxxxxx> or 212-334-9767 or 270 Lafayette
