20 minutes each way. It's exactly 19.75 miles to my office. I take a different way a couple times a week just to break up the monotony.

4.5 country miles to the office. Average here is 23.2. I seldom drive over 45 mph on my commute.
Lately been remodeling a house that's 4 miles away the other direction. Lowes and HD are 12 miles. I can run a tank of gas through the truck in one week (350 miles) without leaving the county.

About 7 minutes. When I worked elsewhere it was 20-25, I didn't mind the opportunity to wind down on my way home as others have mentioned. Stop and go rush hour would drive me the most insane, no thanks.

I am 10 mi as the crow flies from home to office. It takes 35-40 min at 5:30 AM to reach the office and 55 min by street or 60-90 min to get home via the highway (22 mi). I am going from the most southern to the most northern part of Brooklyn.

About 30 miles or about 35 - 40 minutes depending on traffic in the last 5 miles which is a heavily traveled artery into the city. The other 25 miles are back country roads which are a blast to drive. There are a couple extended routes which run along the river and are joy to blast through. That detour takes an extra 10 minutes but allows me to decrease stress levels by an additional 50% which makes it worthwhile.

One hour each way (60 miles one way). With the usual 12 hour shift my day is 14 hours everyday. If I get off late it can be a 15 or 16 hour day.

47 miles each way. Around an hour in the morning on a bus and the afternoon commute is never less than 75 minutes, can be as long as 180 minutes between the metro and slug line.
That is life in N VA....

In Tampa that means about 30 minutes.

When I am not doing a 30 sec commute to my home office, my commute involves planes & rental cars & it can take up to 6 hours although I have had much, much longer.

@45-50 minutes. In the Northern Va area that's very good, but I also carpool which allows us to use the HOV lanes on Rt. 66 which typically is very congested. Plus I arrive at the office @7:20am and leave by 4.
