Z Commuters - How Far's Your Work from Home?
 

Just started a new job and the commute's not too bad - 30miles. It's only 40-45 minutes in traffic (turns out I'm driving the opposite way of congestion), but wanted to see what the spectrum is for Z driver's would daily their cars.

zero... weekend car status.

about 5 miles to work

If I take the Z to work it takes about 15 minutes, but I may do that once a week.

35 miles each way.

I had to check to be sure 29.2 miles but I sometimes take my audi.

Also I have KW3 and recaro seats so... Not a very fair comparison

You should do a poll with options in time instead of distance.

kenchan driving takes 1hr.
mustang driving same distance takes 15min. :icon14:

Because Mustang strategically placed several charburger stands along the roadway. :icon17:

Weekend car for me. If I do I only live 3.5 miles from work.

:rofl2:

I have a wonderful twisty commute. About 5 miles each way. No freeway involved. 6th gear is almost unused.

A little less than 2 miles. I don't have winter tires on my Z because I can walk to work in a snowstorm.

Around 25 miles.

About 12 miles, 30 minutes.

Seat adjustment is the most important thing to feeling comfortable on daily drives...

55 miles one way pretty much all freeway takes about and hour, my ipod gets a work out lol

Best army perk: I wake up 5 minutes before work and stumble down two flights of stairs.

My commute was 57 miles one-way, recently it's 38 one-way.

Thankfully I started carpooling in the last few months so the Z sits all day and I barely drive it.

When I do bring the Z to work which is rare and only on weekends when there is alot less cars in the lot its only about 3 miles each way WOOT WOOT.

35 miles each way, most of it in traffic, and i still love to drive it.

"Yeah take a good look at the car you could have had."
:worship:

8 miles and 10 minute calm drive through a quiet country setting. I keep trying to make the ride last longer---it always ends too soon. I drive less than 5,000 miles/year. My cars look like new for a decade and last forever.

Exactly three miles for me, but I have to go thru four stop lights. I don't know how I cope with it!:rofl2:

AZ

36.5 miles

Google Maps says 15.0 miles, 30 minutes. Really, it's 35-40 mins with traffic + lights. Really not too bad and there are backroads I can take to change it up a bit

7 miles each way :)

33 miles, in flow of traffic, 45~65mins to work & 50~90mins to home.

11 miles...20 minutes drive

About 40 miles, all highway except for 3 miles of it. Takes about 45 minutes unless beach traffic rears it's ugly head. Then another 20-30 minutes.

3 minute walk :tup:

About 4KMs.. use to take me 7-8 minutes with my old car, now it's 10-15 because I'll take the long routes now with the Z hahaha.

Just had to look this up today to win a debate with a co-worker.
15-16 miles (1-1.5 hour of driving), I have two road choices at one point and it is a flip of the coin which is faster everyday.

Just looked, geez a lot of you have very little commute, I am jealous.

0.8 Miles

17 miles, ~ 15 minutes. **** yeah, high Alabama speed limits and no traffic.

Thanks for the replies, comments, and poll responses all! Looks about what I was expected - seems the breakpoints were perfect - almost a proportional spread.

And yep - I do (now) envy the short commuters... I've stocked up on A LOT of audiobooks. Mebbe I'll restart that SAT radio subscription...

I only get 17.8 MPG cuz I drive up and down the freeway ramp everyday to work. I live like 10-15 minutes away on the span of 8 miles.

This includes turning on the car and backing out the driveway.

17 miles, 30-40 minutes. I love my commute. All side streets with lots of views, changes in elevation, turns, 50-60 mph speed limits. That's why I drive my Z everyday. It relieves stress on the drive home.

4 miles less than 10 minutes

That's awesome. I think my ideal commute would be ~30 minutes or so of winding, picturesque country roads.

But instead I am in pretty ridiculous DC-Metro traffic. The 5.0 definitely accelerates quicker to 5 mph than the Z did. But I feel like the Z has the advantage because it takes up less space when you are gridlocked in the center of an intersection. :icon17:

55mi one way for the last 3.5 years.. Just hired into a new job which is 1mi from my house.

Winning.

Maybe I'll get a moped and take that into work every now and then. ;)

33 miles each way for me. Morning commute takes around 30 minutes, evening closer to 45 minutes. They are supposedly going to build a toll road which would cut down on my mileage and time considerably but they are still debating the path the road will take.
