    Six hours, about 400 miles. I work in Iowa and go home to Chicago every weekend. My commute from the town I stay in to my project is about 30 minutes though.

    0.8 mile. I can walk it in about 15 minutes. Crossing the highway is a bit dangerous. I drive it most of the time. A tank of gas lasts me three weeks, including my commute and local errands.

    About 25 minutes to school.

    That and other various outings adds up to about 17 gallons a week.

    21 miles each way. With ATL traffic that can be 30 minutes or 60+ minutes. Average is probably 40min. Work encourages tele-working and I do that once a week, plus I work a flex schedule that gives me every other Friday off. So, I average only 3.5 commutes a week.

    It's got to be at least 100 steps to get to the coffee, then out to the lounge chair in the driveway to make sure all the guys on the block get off to work okay.

    It`s about 35 miles each way,and with the Bay Bridge traffic in the morning it can take about 45 mins. to an hour and 45 mins..in the morning...or more

    1 to 3.5 hours on the way home, depending on the traffic and moron content there of...

    I usually get up so early and get on the road before the rest of the world does, so the morning commute is not so bad...35 to 45 min

    on the bike I can cut that time in less than half...and usually do !!

    I have made it to work in 17 minutes at 3 am on the bike !!

    a couple of times !!!!

    25 minutes from garage to the cubicle. I don't think I could do more than 30 minutes of drive time every day. For those of you who drive 30+ miles to the office every day, you're a better man (or more patient man) than me.
