    Sept-april, 1.5 miles one way. Spring and summer 24 miles one way, then I have a lawn mowing route pulling my trailer after work for another 20-30 miles per week.

    While not work, come ski season I drive 2-3 times a week at least a 150 mile round trip to ski....

    The summer commute is split between the truck and motorcycle. The short fall commute I just use the truck, as I will only ride in full gear head to toe, and don't feel like getting geared up for the short ride.

    ~45 miles round trip, mostly highway now but that'll change in a month when my office relocates. Then it'll be about a third surface street driving.

    I drive my truck every day. Average 22-24MPG.

    Here's my last 3, going back to 2008ish

    About 21 miles round trip with 1 stoplight. I drive it 3-4 times a week and the rest of the time I drive my "farm truck", a 99 Ranger.

    About 17 miles round trip.

    Even if I drove significantly further, I don't think an efficient commuter car in addition to the truck would work out positively financially.

    Yeah, the people I work with are worth the drive. There is an office only 8 miles away I could work at, but they not the people you want to be around for 10hrs a day.

    True dat for me too...I work with some great people (tho I don't have a closer option). But, I'll flip the logic and say where I live is worth the drive. I do 10s too 4 days on/3 days off...when I roll in my 45 or so days a year I can take off paid, it turns into 3ish days a week unless I want some overtime.

    35 miles each way over "the hill", got my '08 in late September with just under 50k, just hit 61 last week. it's a smooth ride but at this rate I'm gonna rack up the mileage fairly quick. might have to pick up a first gen as my dd and save this one for my expeditions!

    Im in construction so it changes. Shortest was about 5 miles round trip and longest was about 170 miles round trip. 95% in the truck, sometimes I take my other car.

    2.5 miles to where my bus is parked. I drive there two times a day, (morning runs, a break, then afternoon runs) so it's a grand total of ten miles a day for me. I would walk, but it's not very pedestrian friendly, and walking would take up most of my break. I'd pretty much be walking home and walking right back to work.
    Was way worse when I worked construction. Sometimes the jobsite was within walking distance, other times it was two hours away.

    3 1/2 miles each way. Makes for $hit gas mileage.
    If I take one of the Harley's its 10+ miles each way.
