About 300 meters per day.

Leaving home at 8.30 and being at the office at 8.35 FTW

Plus if I go out on jobs work pay my milage = more expenses than I spend in fuel per month

90 miles per day commute. Costs around £55 for a 5 day week - Ford Transit Connect.

I probably double that per day driving site to site.

I just fill up on a fuel card

Fuck knows what Punto and Corsa uses and i only drive them to move driveway spaces these days

Around 20 miles one way, 40 miles a day, 200 a week + travel to other places. The miles isn't the killer, it's the type of journey. Maybe once every 2 weeks my Dad will cover 74 miles in a quicker time than it takes me to do 20, my journey is a cunt.

Costs me around £25 a week in derv.

36 miles. I budget £150 per month for petrol but that includes social. Car costs me about 15p/mile at current fuel rates I think.

Last job (up to xmas 2010):
30 miles each way, 300 a week £60 of diesel

Current job: 50 miles each way, 500 a week, £75 in diesel


However, that's not the cost. Whilst the car gets better fuel ecconomy on my new commute due to the lower speed, the other costs are the same. Whilst its running me £75 in diesel, its more like £150-175 when you factor in depreciation and other wear on the car.

Then there's the other big cost. 30mile commute used to take 30mins each way, every time, no variance. 50mile commute, (very) good morning is an hour, good night is an hour and 15mins. Bad day, make that an hour and a half and two and a half respectively. I've added an hour and a half on to every working day, so pretty much now working an extra day in time spent chewing the steering wheel in traffic.

When I'm in the Norway office, its an 8min walk from the hotel. Bliss!

11 miles round trip, fill up with petrol fortnightly usually so about the cost of premium membership per week.

I do about 180 miles in a 5 day week and put in about £40 which can usually last into a small bit of weekend driving the shops etc

If I'm in the office it's about 12 miles each way
If I'm not then down a flight of stairs

A tank of fuel (50L) usually does me 2 weeks
