How far do you drive to work?

[Brian Hoskins]

For two more weeks, my commute is 22 miles (Kailua to Pearl Harbor).
This is what I have to face every day.


We're moving to Aiea, just on the northwest edge of Pearl Harbor the middle of June.
I figure I'll save at least $200 on gas.

I will miss the drive through the mountains though. I used to ride a commuter bus from Ashburn, VA to Washington, DC. Now that was bad.

[Andy Hoyt]

About 120 feet here. That's bedroom to office/shop.

The half-way-back-trip to the coffee pot is a killer.

Hmmm. Andy needs a battery powered, portable, belt held coffee pot.

The Pali Highway is breathtaking.

Much better than the road to hana

[Steve Jenkins]

about 200 feet since I moved two years ago. Was 9 miles with bad traffic all the way.

[Chris Friesen]

I live in Saskatchewan and work for a company in Ontario. I telecommute 3200km.

I live in a city of 280000 and I bike as much as reasonably possible. Minor errands, etc. often get done on bike.

[Kevin French]

25 miles one way, 30+mins. 19MPG $4.85 for diesel (As of friday, may be over 5 tomorrow)

Looks like I might get a small compact and park the truck.

[Jim Mattheiss]

I commute 32 highway miles each way 5 days week.
35 minutes best time, 45 minutes average.
You sort of get in the zone . . .

Took 18 months off to work locally and getting back into
to 30+ mile commute took a while.

Have carpooled in the past but differing schedules caused hassles.

My 5 speed 2000 VW gets 28-29 MPG highway.
I need a new car but the only way I see to jump WAY
past 30 mpg is to go to hybrid or a tiny car. Mini's
look cool but have limited lumber carrying potential.

[Glenn Clabo]

For the last 10 years...3.9 miles...10 minutes along the Bay. I just measured for the first time today.

And to think I had a 1 hour plus trip each way for 20 years into DC! What was I thinking?

[Ron Dunn]

160 km (100 miles) each way. I drive if I'm flying, but take the train if I'm just going to the office. (There are no trains to meet late night flights)

[Dennis Peacock]

I cook during the week, for example. (and really enjoy it)

Don't let this Becker dude fool you. This guy can "cook"!!!!! The meal I had in their home last year was probably some of the very best away from home food I've ever eaten. BTW, did you know Mr. Becker can cook??!!!

[Bob Moyer]

9 Miles one way - 2 stop signs. All country roads unless I decide to venture on to an interstate which does not shorten the distance, but adds aggravation.

[Derek Tuchscherer]

5 miles each way, 12-13 minutes each way in the winter in my truck and 15-18 minutes in the summer via bicycle.

[Ron Jones near Indy]

I have a 1.2 mile drive one way to school (.2 miles of that is across a parking lot). In the afternoon it's a 1.5 mile drive (one way drive adds to the total) home. It is a 3 minute drive in the morning and a 6 minute afternoon commute. That takes care of the paying job. It's a walk of 50 feet from the back door to the shop. I love that.
