30 miles and maybe 35 minutes each way on a typical day. We had moved mid-way between my work and LOML work when we got married, and we didn't even consider moving closer to mine when she stopped working.

I did commute to NYC via train (50 minutes.) for about 14 years

300-350 miles... every day. I drive to different drilling rigs every day and they're spread out across the Texas panhandle. Luckily... the company provides the gas.. and vehicle... and service... and tires...
500 to 700 miles a day, driving an 18 wheeler. 7 1/2 mpg (that is actually pretty good) and I pay for the fuel, which is $4.60/gal right now. It has gone up $.60 in 3 weeks. If I work in my shop I only have to walk 200'.
I only have to drive 2 miles to the commuter lot then someone else drives me for free the remaining 38 miles into work. Gas prices have a minimal effect on my commute cost but it does impact the price of bus tickets, metro, etc.

Well, right now, I'm working on an exterior that is about 0.25 miles round-trip. It would be shorter, but I don't bother turning the truck around in their driveway, I just go the long way around the neighborhood loop. Average for me dropped last year from about 40 miles total/day to about 20 miles total/day when we moved to just outside the city limits (still have most city services and pay 1/2 the property taxes of an inside-the-city-limits comparable property) from a bedroom community that was about 15 miles from the center of the city and county.
To work and back home, around 20 miles.
Cool Place, this Sawmill Creek.
I take about 15 steps into the Basement and Im there.
I had the I-270 commute for a little over a year. It was 46 miles each way from just north of Frederick, Maryland to Bethesda. It took anywhere from 50 minutes to 2.5 hours. The 50 minutes was the exception one day or so a week. Most of the time 90 minutes plus. After a year of that, I took a job at a slight pay cut that was 15 miles in the other direction. Commute now is about 25 minutes and some morning, I don't see another car at all.
My apartment, though bad for wood working, is great for gas. I live about a mile and half from the University (history grad student). When the weather is good I walk. When I first moved here I made a game of seeing how long I could go between fill ups. My record is six weeks. I'm glad for every penny I can save on gas because our car drinks like most of my colleagues.
14 miles each way.
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.
4 miles each way. I reeeellly like my current client.
Where did I put that tape measure...
i walk downstairs.
i used to walk 3 blocks.
before that it was 11 miles (but 30-45 minutes) each way.
i like being closer - not only does it save on gas, but you can make lunch at home (and save $), and saves time, which means more time for coffee in the morning.
25 miles here.
I am soooooo thankful I bought a Camry Hybrid last year.
I average 44~45 mpg.
