How far do you drive to your job??

[GilaMinumBeer]

14 miles, one way.

 

[shecky]

Depends. My office is 7 miles from my house, but most of my work is not done in the office. Some days I drive 0 miles, some days I drive 120 miles (round trip), some days it's 400 miles.

 

[Beernik]

About 21 miles each way. It takes 30-40 minutes depending on the route I take, accidents, and weather. About once a year it snows so bad it turns into 2 - 3 hours in one direction.

 

[scratchypants]

80 miles round trip, 5 days a week. All country, takes about 50 minutes one way. The property taxes greatly offset the fuel bill, but it's the wear and value on the vehicle that take a beating. "5 years or 60 000 miles" ain't nowhere near 5 years. Forget leasing, too.

I don't hate the drive though. It's been 12 years and I find that it's a nice psychological ramp - ie. by the time I'm home, I'm home.

 

[Airborneguy]

14 each way, but I have to cross an enormously expensive toll bridge!

 

[lowlife]

6 miles one way

I took a new job back in December that doubled my commute... from 2 to 4 miles.

I used to do 30 miles each way, and I've sworn to never have such a distant commute, no matter what.

 

[Jim Karr]

Eight miles from home to town, all via country backroads. If I ride the moped, it takes 17-19 minutes at 130 miles per gallon. I can commute all week for about three bucks.

If I drive, it's about eleven minutes, but I don't save on the gas.

 

[machinelf]

32 miles each way. Takes about 50 minutes in perfect weather. Sometimes it's annoying, but the utter seclusion and a lack of light pollution at night make it all worth it. And I've become a lifelong Subaru fan.

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

I drive from school to work, and that's about 25 miles by freeway. It's shorter on the map, but by freeway I have to go north and then loop around and come at it from the west. If I got off the freeway and took streets it would take even longer.

 

[Joker]

Currently approx 32 mile on way and 45 min depening on traffic.

Worst 93 miles one way about an hour 45 min, Friday night it was usually a 2-3 hour trip.

 

[Synovia]

I walk. Its a little less than a half mile.

 

[Nova5]

I step out my front door and I'm at work.

 

[funnycreature]

46 miles one way...

@Nova5: Nice resurrection of this thread, btw!

 

[poptarts]

5 mins if traffic is horrid

 

[BigFloyd]

5 mins if traffic is horrid

Can't you almost drive from one side of Laramie to the other in 5 min?

Mine is 3.5 miles to office #1, about 5 miles to office #2.

 

[jcoxen]

24 miles / 35 minutes...most of it on 2-Lane country road.

 

[brettwasbtd]

17 minute drive to to the train station...then another 70 minutes or so til I am in my seat at work. Average of 3 hours per day commuting...it is quite the drain. Need to find a new job

 

[Valtyr]

Somewhere between 30-45 minutes, depending on how traffic is.

 

[glenn514]

Since I'm retired...ZERO miles! ;->

[airdog_47]

Approx. 3 blocks driving in a company vehicle which I get to take home every night. It takes 5 mins tops if I hit the one and only stoplight on the way.

 

[dfc]

I'm 10 minutes from one location and 12 minutes from the other. I didn't want the long commute.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

about 10 miles right now. by the fall, it'll be less than 3 miles. when I first started working in Gillette, WY my wife & I lived in Rapid City, SD. from our house to the shop was about 150 miles. took over 2 hours to get to work every day.

 

[Nova5]

46 miles one way...

@Nova5: Nice resurrection of this thread, btw!

Hmm.. Either it was on the side bar or someone deleted a post ahead of mine. Because I didn't search it up nor was it in the suggested threads at the bottom..

 

[Nova5]

I build houses on the street I live on. Now.. when I'm out of lots the time/distance will change.. about 15 minutes then.

 

[Roondy888]

67 miles each way, basically all highway.

 

[drainbamage]

16 miles, 20 minutes.

Then again, my last job was 90 miles each way. That set-up didn't last long.

 

[hunter306]

100 miles round trip.

 

[brewbama]

30 to 35 miles depending if I'm going direct in the truck or backroads on the bike.
I do a reverse commute from most so I miss out on most of the lovely NJ traffic.
