    My thoughts exactly. I'm around 40 miles there and back, and that's down from previous years. For a year and a half I was driving about 80 miles per day, about 2 1/2 hours total each day spent in the car. Anything over 30 one way kinda sucks.

    When I worked in Miami I had about a 3 mile commute, now that I live in Rio Rancho (most of the time) everything is pretty much 30 minutes from my house. Lucky for me I almost never have to go to work.

    I used to be only 4 minutes from work. I just used neighborhood streets with no stoplights. But once I got to work, I put anywhere from 2-70 miles on the odometer each shift.
