I"m retarred, and use the vette for an occasional call, so maybe a 22 gallon fillup will last 6 weeks or so....

wife works mostly from home, maybe 7k miles/year for her....including personal travel...

gas hits 4 bucks, she going to have to add to her rates, no question.....

Retired union construction pipefitter here. Got to go where the work is in our territory. We have a large territory and I sort of lived in the middle. Most jobs were about 20-25 miles each way but I had one as close as 1mile and another at 100 miles!

I've been working from home for 10 years and running. I would work in an office again if I had to, but doubt that's going to happen.

Start taking the helicopters home.

27 miles for me on a schedule that allows me to avoid most traffic scenarios.

I greatly loved that change for me back in '85 or so.....working from the house, keeping my own schedule, and the HUGE pay increase.....

from 25k salary to 65k + expenses in first years operation....holy smokes do I ever regret spending 20 years in electronics.....

4.2 miles.

Commute usually takes 9 minutes if there is no train passing through town. My best was 6 mins at a slightly illegal pace.

I walk from the bedroom to my office. Sometimes in my underwear. OK, most of the time in my underwear.
