How far do you drive to work?

Stangler · Feb 1, 2007

I'm buying a house in Canby OR. and I work in Beaverton. It's about 20-25 miles (Havn't clocked it) My parents think it's crazy to drive that far everyday, but I was wondering how far you guys drive?

If it is traffic-free 25 miles, then it probably won't be an issue. If its in a busy city with 3 hour traffic jams, then that could pose a problem

I drive about 7 miles one way in a semi rural area, and it isn't long at all.

I drive about 50 miles round trip. The drive is easy (I-5) and pretty quick. about 30 min's each way.

Best advice I can give you: get a credit card that pays you rewards (cash back or air miles) to use for your gas. Pay it off every month. Then use the rewards for a vacation.

I'm at about 100miles rt, but it's all on hwy 20 and I don't pay for the gas or my truck so it's cool with me.

Quickshift_02GT · Feb 1, 2007

Anywhere from 5mi to 600+ miles one way.

2004mysticobra · Feb 1, 2007

Used to drive 45 miles each way, 5-6 days a week. Moved down to Lacey, now just under 9.

Scooby5.0Doo · Feb 1, 2007

i drive about 6 each way my old job was only 3 but my old boss came from east redland and that was about 40miles from him every day each way

stock50LX · Feb 1, 2007

1.2 miles

SMOKEDYA · Feb 1, 2007

My miles about 30 or so round trip. Time wise well with traffic 1/2 hour both ways. Without traffic 10-15 min both ways. My brother in law in ohio drove 1 1/2 hours one way everyday 5 days a week forever! If your driving in rush hour you will hate it! Alot of the guys at work drive from thats way and it takes them about 1/2 - 45 min each way. peace

Over 100 miles round trip.

It's been about 4 years of that.

The Cobra was a daily for a while, but I racked up a ton of miles on my GT. 24 - 72 in months it seemed.

Scooby5.0Doo · Feb 1, 2007

oh yeah one of my friends not my old boss lives in redland and works in springfield. but he drive a geo metro for his daily driver. i think he said 2.5 hours each way

charged9250 · Feb 2, 2007

For me its 5 miles each way all back roads. No traffic!!! Then to the shop its about the same. Just a little more traffic.

hungrymonkey · Feb 2, 2007

five miles one way would be a stretch. I have not checked the distance. But I do know it takes five minutes if I go down the free way, and five and a half minutes if I drive through town.

I worked in Eugene for years though. It was a half hour trip one way. Its not bad once you get used to it.
