LA is pothole city, so wear and tear is actually more important in this equation than even the gas. Driving the 135 through stop and go every day for 2-3 hours a day is going to cause issues with the car.
So yes, it makes sense.

$40/month for insurance in Los Angeles?
How'd you manage that??
I used to lease a Smart car ($99/mo) but it's insurance was like $140 a month. Made no sense whatsoever. But for $140 (incl insurance) a month having a second electric car isn't a terrible idea. You probably break even $$ wise but just having a tiny car is a blessing for street parking.
