How many miles do you guys drive to work? I currently have a job that takes me 25-30 minutes each way. I also have a potential job that will take me 1 hour to 1.5 hours one way. Does that seem like a lot, or is that the norm?

14 miles each way - takes 35-90 minutes each way depending on traffic and weather

I drive 40 miles a week for my commute. I think I put 3000 miles on my car last year total.

40 miles each way. It takes me around 45 minutes in the morning, anywhere from 50-75 minutes (usually) on the drive home.

Depends on if it's an easy drive or congested. When I drove ~45 min each way, I thought it was too much because of traffic. When I drive ~2 hours each way every few weeks, it seems like a bit too much, and it's tiring.

I would feel 25-45 min. is reasonable. Although now I drive 3 miles.

When I go into the office (about every other day) it's about 18 and takes me 30 minutes--easy drive on country roads. When i work from home, about 30 feet.

I'll tell you that I once commuted 3+ hours a day, and it was brutal. I'll never do it again for any amount of money. I left before sunrise and NEVER got home for dinner with my family.
