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

7.5 miles or 9 miles each way depending on route I leave both Jeeps at home and ride my bike on our extensive bike trails 3500 miles last year only missed a few days XJ gets about 1.5 months / tank full.

I drive about 48 miles (75 km) each way, coming in to the city from a semi-rural community. Takes me about 1 hour, give or take.

I used to be only 40 km from the office, but most of it was "city" driving and it took me 45 minutes on average.

I enjoy driving and I like paying 1/2 the price for a bigger piece of property

But as someone else said, the Jeep stays home, my fiance drives it much shorter distances. It was costing me $400-500 a month for gas!

Thanks for the convert Corwyyn, seem that we have a huge range of distance travelled each day to and from work. Don't think I could do the work from home as the kids would be interrupting me all the time, probably if they were at school it would work... but my job wouldn't allow it.

I could probably do 4/5 of my job sitting on the beach chair with a cell phone and a notebook computer. Unfortunately, I have a boss that hates the concept of remote work. :cry:

I don't think your boss hates the concept of remote work as much as the concept of subordinates out having a good (better) time than he does :roll:

After all if he has to come to the office then how come you get to go to the beach, right? :lol:

True that. But I explained to him that he could stand there shore-casting (fishing) while he "managed" us. His eyes lit up a little when I told him that...maybe I'll talk him into some time. He doesn't need to come in here but a couple times a week for meetings...same as us. Not with the new systems we're rolling out.

I drive between 2.75 and 3.5 miles to work one way, now that they finally finished the main road to work I can go the short way again. But I am always doing errands and such that add a few more a day. And now with day light savings time, I take the longer way home and catch a nice sunset over the ocean.

I use my 05 CRD for business travel around the midwest. I get reimbursed .50 cents per mile. With the CRD getting 30m.p.g highway and my business commutes are usually 300 miles one way I'm getting ahead by roughly $140 when you factor in maintenance into the .50cents per mile reimbursement.

So 21 gallons at $3.97 (diesel)= $83.37 per fillup. But I squeeze 525 miles per tankful on average (city+highway). So 525miles * .50 cents = $262.50 remibursement - 83.37 = $179.13 - $40.00 operating maintenance cost = $139.00 left in my pocket.

My boss doesnt like the fact that I work from home and he has to go to the office every day at all. Thats why he calls just to make sure I am up and awake every week or so!
With what I do most of us could work remotely with meeting monthly at one location
