    21 miles each way. I have the choice of taking the Thruway if I'm running late or a few different back roads. I bought an '84 Rabbit to run back and forth though. Needs a little TLC, but I'll be running that as my daily work ride.

    22 miles each way, 20 of which are interstate.

    takes about 30 minutes.

    I spent about 15 years doing an hour or so each way in Florida, so this is child's play, by comparison.

    Although I grew up a farm kid way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, and it was 30 minutes to drive into town. Once a week we went there, at most.

    I'm about 10 miles each way. Eight of which is highway or back roads and two is within a city of about 35K population. Totally stock 2.7L/5spd.

    Around about 16mi/25km each way. I'd say roughly half is highway, half city.

    23 miles each way, all back roads. Which is why I have the Tacoma and not one of the cars I really wanted.

    About 17 miles round trip to my office. I could add about 40 to that if I have to go to one of the further away buildings, though. I total about 28k a year when I add in other driving.

    Lots of people tell me I should buy something cheap and fuel efficient for daily driving and highway trips. To which I reply "Why in the world would I do that when I have the option of driving a truck?" I don't think it'd save me anything anyway when you do all the math.
