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

28miles there and back. unless I have to go to the office, then its somewhere in the 45 minute range...I dont know what that is in normal people miles. Its on the northwest corner of the cities, and I live on the southeast... Not a very user friendly Hwy either. :cry:

13 paces. My office is right outside my bedroom.

And I do have to wear pants. I work beside a large window and I do not want to scare the neighbours.

35km round trip, and I get to drive against the traffic as I live inner suburbs and work outersuburbs, so each way has the least traffic, except for the Trucks coming off the Highway some mornings, they can really slow you down, 3 lanes, a truck in each lane, blocks the roads more than an accident can sometimes. Can take 15minutes to go 3km some morning, then after you get past the trucks, 10mins to drive the last 14km's.

I know, I know, its their job, and I'm not complaining about that, just that they should at least try to leave at least one lane free. All these racing truckies that try to pass each other because they can go 1kph faster than the other guy, then, they just pull in infront of that guy and he then feels he has to get back past again...........Sorry what was I talking about again :lol:

Go to my Happy Place....Happy Happy....

I'm thinking 5 weeks wouldn't be long enough, perhaps long enough to run out of money :lol:

, go home save up and return later.

For the last 7 months and for the next 8 months, I don't drive at all. On the other hand, when I'm back home, I drive on average 66 miles per day unless I have other errands, then sometimes as much as 150 in a day.

I live in NEW YORK and work in NEW JERSEY.
Drive distance to me office is 52.7 miles and back home. BUT inbetween i can do about 200+ some days. I would say I can do close to 300 miles in one day

Last summer I drove 110 miles round trip, with 3,000 feet of elevation change. I could average 40 mpg on the way to work (all down hill), but the trip back up lowered my average to about 22 mpg.

CD, your 24km works out to 15 miles which is what my commute was this time last year. Now it's about 1.5 miles which I will start doing on my bicycle again once I recovery from my gall bladder surgery, which will probably be when we hit our first 100 F (38 C) temps here in AZ...

I drive 10 miles one way to the office, then drive to appointments during the day. I have a company vehicle and have full use of it on the weekends. Maybe why my 02 Lib has less than 30,000 miles.

I have a 140 mile round trip commute which takes me through the hell on Earth that is known as the 405 Freeway.
I fear no evil, for I have driven through the gates of Hell :twisted:

The Jeep stays home.

I've been working at home the past 5 years. Probably a good thing, too, because gas just hopped up to $4.85 per US gallon ($5.30 for premium). Also, this way I'm never late for work. :lol:

Never late for work??? Heck I work at home and some days still am late :lol:

Good part about my job I have a window of hours to work I can start as early as 6 AM and work as late as 6 PM but not over 10 hours each day.

Depending which Rail terminal I'm working could be 90 round trip or 20 round trip but I don't work every day either. I would say about once a week sometimes twice a week at most.

dog_party · **Posted:** Tue Apr 22, 2008 1:26 pm

I drive about 12 miles each way, so 24 miles per day. Tank of fuel usually lasts 3 or 4 weeks, depending what else I have to drive to.
