How many miles (each way) do you drive for work each day?|171579

I just moved to Dallas, and it looks like I will be driving 22 miles one way to work from where I live. I_ve mentioned this to people and they don_t seem to blink about it here. I moved from another big city but never drove this much one way. Just got me wondering about other peoples daily drives. Please state how many miles you drive each way and if possible the city (or nearest big city) you live. Thanks!

15 miles, but I am in the Phoenix area. Grew up in Frisco,Tx.

I drive 55 miles each way, but it_s almost all on rural expressways, so I can go 70-80mph for most of the drive. I have to go slower on the streets between my house and the expressway, and on the streets between the expressway and my job. All in all, it takes me about 55 minutes.

Up until a few months ago, it was 75 miles each way, but I changed jobs to (among other reasons) reduce my commute. The town I live in has no good-paying jobs in my industry, unfortunately. But it has the only university in the state offering the program that my wife is getting her Ph.D. in.

I live in Long Beach, CA and drive 7 miles to my job in Huntington Beach, CA. 2 miles of that I get to see the ocean and marinas. It_s a 15-20 minute drive.
When I lived in Dallas I usually drove 20+ miles to get to work and I didn_t get to see the ocean, just lots of LBJ....Lakewood to Far North Dallas.

I drive 30 miles each way. Luckily, most of it is on 380 (I work in McKinney and live almost on the edge of Lake Lewisville). I have worked further than that though (back when gas was much cheaper).

I_m thankful that my commute isn_t longer than it is. My brother in law commutes from Bolivar Pennisula to Kemah (about 50 miles, plus a 30 minute ferry ride).

I do know it is 40 miles to downtown Dallas from McKinney, TX and it_s in the metro area! Sometimes it takes up to two hours to get there. But any other times besides rush hour Dallas isn_t totally inaccessible. Just take 75 or run to Frisco on 121 and take the North Dallas Tollway.

Sad to say, I drive 51 miles each way, all within LA, CA. I live in Pasadena, CA and I work in Long Beach, CA, and my passenger, for whom I detour, lives in Arcadia, CA. Yuck to so much driving, but drive we must!

My husband drives about 25 miles to work each day (to Plano - we live north of Dallas), and it takes him about 30-40 min. No big deal:) We moved from Southern California last year, and that distance could take up to 2 HOURS during rush hour!

I drive 0 miles to work. I_m a stay at home mom. When I did drive I drove about 19 miles to work it took me about 30 minutes. I live in Memphis, TN

i drive 50 miles each way, its all interstate so it really only takes about 45 minutes.

I live in the NYC/NJ metro area. I drive about 16 miles each way.
