For those who commute to work, how far do you drive one way to get there?

If you work at home, congratulations, you don't have to answer. I only want to hear from those who drive themselves from home to work.

Thanks.

By the way, I drive 4 miles now. I used to drive 38 miles, but one day I asked myself why?

Update:

Gdwrnch40: YIKES! That's painful. Hope it's not bumper-to-bumper all the way.

Update 2:

ScottH and Star: Your drives don't seem too bad. I would have been willing to drive that far too, but it would have been at the outer limit for me.

Update 3:

ModelFlyerChick: My condolences. That's way more than I could stand.

Update 4:

Krissybell: With a short drive like the one I have, I have the luxury of several different route variations and you probably do too. Even if traffic backs up (which I have not experienced yet) it would still be better than a bumper-to-bumper hour and a half commute everyday. I also go 21 days on a tank of gas!

    AM: Varies between 28 to 40 miles, depending on which route I take.

    PM: Varies from 30 to 50 miles, depending on traffic and the route.

    My AM commute is usually 1 hour. My PM commute varies anywhere from 1.5 - 3 hours, excluding running errands on the way home.

    Superfoot (asker): haha I do agree. I love driving but hate heavy traffic. But you have to realize one thing...I live in Texas not too far from Houston. Around here traffic jams and urban sprawl are the name of the game.
