232 KM a day....Thats my commute to school.
About a half a mile one way. I can't justify driving to work so I ride bike. In winter even--with studded tires. The irony is I converted my pickup years ago to burn WVO and I only burn it now on weekends or traveling to CO 3-4 times a year.
27 miles round-trip. A little over a gallon of gasoline in the Tacoma +/- 24mpg. Takes roughly 25 minutes each way, a good deal of which is surface streets, luckily the freeway and to some extent the entire trip is reverse commute, it would take twice as long otherwise.
Im kinda glad I only got a month or so left of this 232KM a day 4 days a week commute.
I bought the car in June with 385K and now I have well over 440K.
If you gotta travel that far, move closer...
68 miles one-way.
I have a 1981 Caddy pickup. Daily driver. When you get 500-600 per tank and all the power you need and a dependable rig, distance doesn't matter.
1.9TD AAZ, Giles pump. 020 afs (3.67:1 with .71OD) 15" tires. Truck has PS, tonneau lid, and I'd feel comforable driving it coast to coast, as long as I can change oil every 10K miles.

Wayne, what town are you in? I'd love to check out your caddy sometime... I'm near Farmville.

maybe when you are young...
I have a 64 mile round trip commute that takes 50 minutes on average, taking mostly 2 lane roads and a bit of city traffic. I have been doing that for 16 years , mostly in my Rabbit P/U or Jetta , sometimes in my 240D stick when I felt like wasting fuel.
Four years before that I was doing an 80 mile r/t in my pickup.
I've had enough of work...retiring later this year.
If my daughter is lucky, she will get into a better high school across the county...and I will have a few more years of commuting. I think that is a 40 mile r/t, but twice a day. Might get some help from SWMBO or do some car pooling with other kids.
