    This time of year there's a ferry straight to town (I live at the end of a peninsula), so it's only 15km to work. Wintertime it's about 50.

    Yep.
    Right now; 8.5 one way. It's nice. However, we're looking for a new home and trying to keep it within 20miles / -45min.

    6.5 miles one way, takes less than 5 minutes considering I jump on a major highway then exit right to the front gate of the power plant :D

    43 miles one way. 3rd shift, no traffic, mostly Interstate, It usually takes me 45-50 min. Since it is 4 10 hour shifts a week, that thankfully saves me some gas...
