About 6 miles, but can easily take 30-40 mins when leaving after 7am.

I was driving 150 miles per day from Nederland (outside of Beaumont) to Channelview for an engineering co-op. I did this from August 21st to December 21st 2006.

Wasn't really bad until I started working 7/12's and driving 2.5 hours per day, did this for 1.5 months, thought I was going to DIE.

60 mile roundtrip 5 days a week. But there is never any traffic going or coming. Each way takes about 25-30 mins. All that **** will end on Mar 12th.

I work about 12.5 miles from my work, ~25 round trip. With the way I drive, I fill up once a week, give or take a few days (cam/stall/lead foot/etc.)

I'm 124 miles round trip. Takes about 1.25 to 1.5 hours both ways. Been doing it for 3 years now. I have thought about killing myself several times . Spend about $30-$40 every other day in gas (depending on what the gas prices are doing that week). Putting ~25,000 miles a year on the Camaro. Luckily I just had a new motor put in this past August.
