How far do you have to drive each day for work.

Just thought I'd ask how far every one has to drive each day, a friend just got back from the US and said everything is so big and far apart.

I drive from Normanhurst (Sydney) to Chatswood (Sydney) each day, it's about 24 kilometres each way. Not sure what that is in miles. That's it, I don't have to drive the KJ around for a job just to the job, same place every day.

I drive about 1,300 miles each month going to-and-from work. I think that's 2092 km.

I do walk to work on better days, but sometimes I need to go check a job, met with contractors or go to meetings, so I take the Jeep then.

Not too far for me. About 2.5 miles but that will probably go way up when I move to Colorado in July.

NOW I walk from my bedroom down the hall way and into the office :wink:

And with the price of gas its great!

That would be fun, since 17 of those steps are down the stairs. :shock:

I should do like the kids and ride down the stairs in a big laundry basket. :lol:

I think you just hit the nail on the head.

A while back the executives from Hyundai came to the US and rented a Motor home. The plan was to drive around the us for 2 weeks and get a better feel for the US car market while traveling from coast to coast visiting different destinations.

5 Weeks later they arrived back in california. When asked what they thought after the 5 week tour one of them replied "America very big." :shock:

Just 3 miles there and 3 miles back.Take car because i go to work either very early or coming home very late,and got to take my kit with me and it would be awkward on my mountain bike.Plus with all the taxes we pay i use my wheels whenever i can otherwise i would have one very expensive ornament sat in the garage.

How far do you have to drive each day for work.
