Title explains it.

I have a job offer, but it's 12.8 miles away from me. I was hoping for something a bit closer, since I know gas WILL be going back up.

I guess beggars can't be choosers, though.

12 mi is not bad at all.  I used to have 50 each way a while back.  Now I work at home though so zero.

But I have had a job where it was about 200-250 miles a day in L.A. traffic.

Homestation, about 50 there, so 100 mi/day

I don't drive here.

4 miles one way.  I come home for lunch, so I figure if things get real bad I can cut my gas usage by 50% by brown bagging it.  But as it is now, I really like getting out of there for an hour everyday

I was making damn good money in that job though, almost $500 a week in mileage alone.

150 round trip - fwiw I don't drive it everyday, I usually camp out every other day.  Likewise it is about 80 minutes - so not that much worse than my old 14 mile 45 minute commute.

Roughly 1/264th of a mile … roundtrip.

About a 10 foot walk from my bedroom to my home office.

A few hundred to thousand + a week when I'm on the road.  Gawd I hate flying.

16 miles one way.  That can take 30min. to 1 hour (or more) on any given day (accidents, etc.).  Typical NoVA/DC Area commuting.

Consider the commuting TIME more than the commuting MILES.  You waste more fuel sitting locked in bumper to bumper traffic than flying down the road at a constant speed.

BTW - A commute of ~1 hour is my limiting factor.

About 100 miles worth of commuting a week and another 1600-2000 miles a week on the job.

100,000+ a year.

I just changed jobs, my last one had me walking 2 1/2 blocks-which was really great.

my new job has me riding my bike 1.5 miles.

When I was a sales rep (bicycle industry) I was driving 80K miles per year!

depends on the area.  I would love to bike to work except there is NO safe way of getting there without putting a bicycle on a major road and getting run down by someone who aint paying attention.  That and i have to arrive to work looking presentable.  Its difficult to do that after sweating it out in the Texas Summer heat while pedaling to work.

About 12 miles each way on the highway or 7 miles on surface streets.
