Longest commute?

I've recently taken a new position.... My daily commute is 172 miles round trip. Just today I managed to put 227 miles on the clock... I expect to put 37,840 miles on Dieter in 2005 just commuting!!!

Anyone else have a crazy commute??

Mine is 130 miles round trip on Chicago toll roads during rush hour. If the weather turns fowl, it can be an absolute nightmare. The first heavy snow took 4.5 hours to get home

I used to do almost 90 miles one way. I worked that job 6 days a week. In a little over 9 months I put 38,000 miles on my SD.

My commute on days when I have both school and work ends up being about 33 miles total, but when its just work its about 19 total, or just school around 12-13........today I covered almost 60 miles around the city.....went to the dealer and they didn't have the part in for our 83 when they had said they would all the way out there for nothing, oh well.

I drive from Round Rock, Texas to downtown Austin five days a week. Round Trip 32 miles a day. That's 160 miles a week on the average. This doesn't include errands and doing things with the kids etc...
