Government at Work - Providing a car for commuting
Perhaps, they'll deal with it at the next election...
At NJ.com, Justin Zaremba reported this:
"However, Picciallo told NJ.com today that the 150- to 160-mile round trip commute five days a week would result in significant wear and tear to the vehicle, and create increased costs for taxpayers. According to Picciallo, the town will be responsible for maintaining the vehicle and Rosell will be able to use the municipal fuel pump to fill up the vehicle. He estimated the fuel cost would range between $800 and $900 per month. At a rate of $3.60 per gallon, a vehicle with a 17-gallon gas tank costs $61.20 to fill up. According to fueleconomy.gov, a 2008 Chevy Impala with a 17-gallon tank has a standard gas mileage of 337 miles per tank on regular gas."
