    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    Depends on how you want to look at it. I am a forester and work for a private contractor. We cover most of the Cascade range in Washington and occasionally out on the cost and over to Lewiston, ID and Spokane. So I'm not really hauling anything, just using it to get to the job site.

    75 miles roundtrip, but only drive the Tacoma when the roads are bad. Have a little Honda that gets over 30mph otherwise. Use the Tacoma strickly for fishing/camping/hunting/mudding trips.

    100 miles round trip @ 13-14 mpgs. I don't drive below 65 and its a MT. Luckily it's twice a week at most and the other days I carpool with the wife in the subie (27mpg).

    So three hours and 2/3 tank per day? That's a $200 commute everyday.

    Got a new job. 106 miles away. 212 miles round trip. If I calculated it right, it would be about $400 of gas every month.

    To put into perspective, the last time I went to California, it was less than $400 in gas to get there. It sucks but like @kuhndawg said, it's better than not having a job.

    I'll definitely try to steal my moms accord whenever I can since that gets more than double mpg.

    Damn, and you're doing that 5x a week? Is the job worth it? If so, any chance to move closer to the site?

    4 days a week. Long hours, supposedly with a lot of overtime. And unless I can find a place to rent under $400 a month, I'll just have to stick it out.
