Just curious as to how far everybody drives every day.

From my house to class and back, it's about a 30 mile round trip. From my house to work, it's right at 7 miles. That puts my daily total at 37 miles of driving.

Just under 10 miles each way. For a bonus I'm heading out of the city and into the burbs in the morning and back in at night so I's going opposite the traffic each way.

Not bad. I like the idea of biking to work, but the road where I work off of is too busy to ride safely.

It's 12.8 miles, round trip.

I'm gonna miss this short commute when I move out of my apartment in November.

That's a good deal. I'm the opposite of you. Heading towards the city for school from the suburbs. Traffic is a bitch.

Used to be 35 miles one way. I have since moved, now it's less than a mile.

Hmmm
It's roughly 30kilometers round trip trough indonesian morning traffic, which took 2 hours. Back when i have a S600 i always praying to myself that please don't run out of fuel while sitting in traffic. You don't want to push a 2 ton of long wheelbase 4-door saloon right?

30-32 miles from home to work. So 60-64 miles per day depending on which way I take to or from work.

The longest distance-wise is the fastest, but is also dependent on traffic.

From my bedroom to the kitchen, about thirty feet. I'm a stay-home-dad. My wife, however, drives about 30 miles round trip in some of the shittiest traffic Austin has to offer.

50 miles round trip. 25 to the office and 25 back home.

It only takes an hour on a not so good day.

Mine is to my university so a lot of it has bike paths and very little traffic since it's in the middle of a city. I've had more close calls due to other cyclists being dumb than cars.

interesting that I noted it this morning as being 17 miles on the way there and about 21 on the way back (take a different route for traffic reasons)

Yup, 65N through Indianapolis. Tons of construction, so that's why it varies from day to day.

My typical drive is like 15 miles a day to & from work. The short-distance trip is about 7.5 miles one way, but the short-time trip on the highway is just shy of 14 miles. The highway is about 5 minutes faster.

Back home, it was a ten mile trip to school, and three miles to work.

So 26 total miles of driving.

At my old job, 36 miles each way, on 55mph backroads.

With the new job, I'm an on-the-road salesman. So I book around 75 miles a day.

Just about 10 miles to work. The way back is about 11 miles, assuming I don't make a stop somewhere. Traffic is heavy and unpredictable though, so that can be a problem.

Certainly beats my old commutes though; one was 23 Miles one way, and the one before that was a bit over 50 miles one way. Never. Again.

It was for an internship that is over today, but it will only take me about a half hour to get to class instead of 45-90 minutes to get to work...

30 miles one way to the office. We work in the field a lot, but if we're lucky we can reserve fleet cars. Flogged the company car up to Aguila a couple weeks ago during the flooding we had in rural az. 136 mile trip one way from the office, glad it wasn't my car.

As much as I love driving, I'm on a tight budget so driving 37+ miles a day is putting a hurt on my wallet.

Round trip including dropping off kids at school in the morning is 27 miles. I often go elsewhere, so my actual daily driving is a lot more. But if I just do work and home, 27.

18 miles of free and clear highway each way to the dealership where my main office is located. If I have to travel to one of our other locations it's either 37 miles each way (highway), 57 miles (highway) each way, or 16 miles of ungodly terrible stop and go traffic the whole way. Luckily I usually only have to do the latter two once a month, and I drive company cars so I'm not concerned about racking up the miles.

But in a month it will be 3 miles, I cant wait and nor can my Vic lol

8.2 miles to work on surface streets then 9.9 miles home on the interstate so 18.1 total. It works out that dealing with the stoplights in the morning saves time over stop-go on the highway but that the extra 1.7 miles on the interstate is actually quicker on the return trip. Either way it's a bit over half an hour at an average speed of 20 mph.

Last place I lived my commute was 21 miles one way and took about 20 minutes. I miss that.

When I lived in Detroit (metro) I drove from Ortonville to Allen Park every day. 55 miles from door to door then back. The fastest this trip was accomplished was on a GSX-R 750 on a Saturday morning. It happened in less than 45 minutes. Typical for morning traffic was about 60-70 minutes. One time it took 6 hours. (2010 blizzard)

Yeah, one hour each way... After a while it really started to get to me. Nowadays my commute is either assholes driving 20 over the limit, or people in no hurry driving 10 under the limit... But at least it's short.

The past 4 years I had about 20 miles each way. Mostly just boring straight highway, but no traffic.
