I drive 30 miles to work one way-For a total of 60 miles. With the rising costs of gas, how far is too far to drive and how many total miles do you drive each day?

It would be about 25 miles, but the hospital provides free transit passes, so I take a bus + train trip. It's free, and I kind of just get to sit back and relax after work. Tons of other hospital ppl on the same commute, so it feels relatively safe.

15 miles each way.
I work 3 12's, so that works out to 90 miles per week.

Not sure of the milage but it takes approx an hour each way. Been doing this for almost 2 years now, 5 days a week. Kinda getting old. Always on the look out for new opportunities.

1st 35 miles one way
2nd 28 miles one way
They are in opposite directions so on the days that I have to work both it is an ugly drive.
