How long is your commute?

[bbob203]

Lets see who commutes the furthest in their VW Diesel. Me currently I'm oit of worl but could get my job back if I want to commute 90 miles one way.

[RabbitJockey]

my commute is 12 miles one way, and it takes any where from 20-40 minutes

I recently got hired back doing architectural drafting.  Thankfully, my employer is allowing me to work from home so my commute is approx 50 feet from the kitchen to my office area with coffee cup in hand...  none of it in a VW diesel.  I currently own 6 cars for two people who drive... who both work at home...   Our combined household miles driven are now less than 2,000 miles per year unless we decide to take a trip.

63 miles daily, 1.5 hours total daily drive time.

thats awful, i honestly can't stand my drive as it is...

[8v-of-fury!]

Well it is only 31 miles one way and it takes about 35-40 minutes. All highway, 65+ the whole time.

Back east everything is 20 miles one way from everything else.  This is one of the ways in which a person breaks half a million miles on something.
Out west here, I work from home, haven't started the truck since before Thanksgiving, and am really digging bicycles again.

22 miles roundtrip to work for me and take ~12-15 minutes each way.

Ill never rack up 1/2 million on mine.

I did a minimum of 165 miles at least 6 days a week there for better part of 2 decades. Whew....guess that's how I ended up with 8 cars and some cars with that half million miles thing. I am glad those tough times are over. Fuel was a lot cheaper then as well.

Doing that many miles in whatever weather was torture and my wrenches never cooled off.

I drive approximately 110 miles per day. Never one shot distance. Where I work currently I work out of home 4 days a week and go the office 1 day a week. The office is approx. 55 miles one way so that day I do at least 150 miles. Usually at least 30,000 business miles per year the last 6 years.

I don't have it as good as Libby but I could.  I try not to bring work home but that isn't working so good anymore.  The office is only 3 miles away one way.  So I only make 30 miles a week at best.  I finally got around to filling up the VW last weekend, last fill was end of September.  340 miles on that tank and all in town driving.  The car is still saving me dough.

I sure feel bad for these high milers though.  I did that 225 one way to work for a couple years and just went and stayed in an apartment for the week.  Couldn't come home at night.

Certainly not me.  One way to work is about 14 minutes and 10 km - most city\suburbs.

 So the poor 1.6td barely gets warmed up. But when I can I use the "drive it like you stole it" strategy, I do.

58 miles round trip in Seattle. Leave for work at 4:30. Home trip usually 4:00 to 5:15 pm.  I m moving to a rout without interstate travel..
Still 43.5-45 mpg

[smutts]

136 miles daily. The Golf Mk2 GTD is finally rusting faster than I can wear it out.

If I have done the conversion right, diesel here is £1.38 a litre, which gives $8.55 a gallon. Getting to work here is a royal pain.

[TimpanogosSlim]

I am currently doing 38 miles each way, almost all freeway, in my mk5 GTI. Amazingly for the power it's got it is giving me near 30mpg on that loop, but I am looking forward to doing a lot better in a diesel some day.
