How far do you live from your job.

[redbrian]

A better question than what kind of car you drive (how many mpg do you get), is how far do you live from your place of employment.

Even though I drive a F150……..I live 20’ above my office.
Fuel burned to reach my office….Zero.

[Guru]

3.6 miles.

You can drive a gas hog than and burn less than the folks commuting from the sub-burbs

[Hydrae]

35 mile round trip. I work off hours and do not have to contend with rush hour though so probably 20 of those miles are at full highway speed.

It is one dollar of gas every day just to get to work and back. i am finding that I view my driving based on the gallons needed to get there now. I am lucky that my job is close to me. I feel for people that have to drive 30+ miles one way every day.

[banyon]

about 2 miles. I'm thinking about biking it some. I could use the exercise too. Starting to lose my Midnight Vulture six-pack.

[VAChief]

A little more than 1 mile.

I would consider that if my job had a shower. However, working nights, I wouldn't feel very safe biking it at 9:30pm in the area I have to go through.

If they were good stewards of the enviroment, they would move closer......

We are not talking viability we are talking about saving the planet.......just like Al Gore......

I understand that. I used to live in Memphis. It's be downright stupid to try to bike to downtown or something.

BTW, I am genuinely interested in your answer in my primary thread. I will bump it again. I don't know the man that well, but I met him a couple of times and am curious.

It's not really the kind of choice you can make as a consumer. As citizens, though we can plan better to make this less of a problem.

[Bugeater]

0-100 miles.

this is facetiousness I hope.:spock:

[NewPhin]

I drive about 3 miles each way to work. The wife works at home.

We each burn about 2 tanks a gas a month in our cars, provided we don't take any trips. When we were going to KC every other weekend during football season.... well.... let's just say I'm glad gas prices weren't then what they are now.

[2bikemike]

I drive about 34 miles one way. I ride my bike and get about 35 MPG. I work 12 hour shifts and should only be working 3 days one week and 4 days the next but it doesn't alway work out that way. Fortunately I am well compensated for any extra days.

[VAChief]

so you walk right.....

Sometimes, its not the distance but the lack of safe walking area. There is about a half-mile that you have to walk on a busy two-way unless you cut through some private property. I have thought of getting a bike, it would be easier to do that than ride, I just moved here about 6 months ago.

[ROYC75]

30 feet .......... Some days it's really tough to get there.

[jAZ]

Just opened a new office and moved across town to be near it. We are now 6 miles from my office. Often work from home as well.

Drive a 2000 Nissan Maxima

[Programmer]

Depends on the contract. Nearest 224 miles RT from home. Furthest 1800 miles RT from home. During project up to 10 miles from local accommodations. I did spend 30 days in India on a contract but didn't drive so 0 kilometers there.

[BucEyedPea]

I walk. About 50 steps.
Drive a Toyota Camry.

[Garcia Bronco]

10 miles, I drive a 2007 FJ cruiser and car pool with a co-worker. I get 15 miles a gallon.

I owned that make and model. 21-28 miles per gallon. I would think you would have a more efficent gas burning car

[DaKCMan AP]

3 miles or 4.8 kilometers

[mlyonsd]

45 miles one way. I drive a Cobalt clown car with under inflated tires.

[SHTSPRAYER]

[Chief Henry]

I drive about 1.5 miles to my office and I drive 2005 Chevy Silverado pickup truck.
I get about 16 mpg. My wife drives about 4 blocks to work and she drives a 2002
chevy suburban. It gets about 18 mpg.

At one time I could get you a sweet deal on replacement headlight units for your Cobalt.

I programmed the assembly equipment for them in Monroe, LA. That production line is now resident in Mexico.

One upsmanship?

I drive 112 miles one way to work on Mondays, then a mile a day to work through the week. I go home most every weekend.

[Iowanian]

My office is in my home. My work may be at home, but Its not uncommon to have 300-mile days.

I bought a higher milage Taur-tis 30mpg, pay for it about once per month.

[noa]

I only live 5.7 miles away from work.

Code for: Live for and serve the state and/or the collective good. :D Just like the idea of retiring or not retiring is to some.

[Jilly]

I live about 5 miles from work...been thinking about getting a scooter because I feel like riding a bike would make me all sweaty and wouldn't be the greatest for pastoral visitations.

[tmax63]

I drive 45 miles each way. I drive a Chevy Cavalier that gets about 30-31mpg. Housing prices are such that to move 20-30 miles closer to work would probably triple my mortgage from around 100k to 250-300k. I don't make that much.

[bkkcoh]

6 mile round trip, drive a KIA Sportage that gets about 20 mpg.

[AndChiefs]

25 miles each way.

Drive a 2008 Corolla.

[Rooster]

20 miles round trip.

[Taco John]

My office is down the hall and to the left.

[BigChiefDave]

30 miles round trip. 26 of it is freeway.

[Redrum_69]

72 miles...one way

[BigChiefDave]

72 miles...one wayWTF?

[chasedude]

40 miles round trip, that comes to about 2 gallons of gas a day. Since I'm allowed to work a 4 day work week now I saving 7-8 bucks for that one day.
