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 miles!!!! 83 miles a day for me, not including the driving I do for my job

5mi each way, but I go home for lunch to feed & walk my dog.

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.
|

About 6.
But I have had a job where it was about 200-250 miles a day in L.A. traffic. |
|
I'm self-employed; most days I drive about 20 miles one way; sometimes, 92 miles one way.

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

Well I patrol in an MRAP here , but when I get back to the motherland 19.28 each way.
|
|
Maybe 4 miles.
Moving next week to a new apartment, will probably be around 9 or 10. |
|
120 each way. Not my truck and I don't pay for gas, plus I only have to do it maybe 8 times a month.
|
|
43 miles each way... but we are now working from home 3 days a week.
|
|
Now, 2 blocks. My last job was active national guard where I drove 91 miles each way.

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.

110 roound trip for the last 24 years. It's no fun at all. In fact I really hate it.

About 1/2 mi or so And you still drive it? Broken leg? Tire on the bicycle is flat? Rob |
|
About 80. Reno to Carson City and back. Great drive too. Gorgeous.

|
Roughly 1/264th of a mile … roundtrip.
About a 10 foot walk from my bedroom to my home office. ETA: I don't drive it, I walk … |
|
60 round trip to the office.
A few hundred to thousand + a week when I'm on the road. Gawd I hate flying. |
|
Right around 12 miles for me but I take surface streets since the highways round are stop and go during rush hour round here. Bout a 30 min drive one way. Not in rush hour its only bout 15 min one way

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. -p. |
|
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! |

You're bitching about 12mi? Seriously? http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn205/thecanuck11/forum%20pics/GTFO1.gif Dude, you can bike 12mi to work! 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. |
