My daily roundtrip commute is usually 160 miles - although once a week I have to go to our other plant, then its 180 miles roundtrip. Ironically, the 180 mile trip takes the same amount of time as the 160 mile trip due to different traffic conditions. Plus when I go to further plant, I only work from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM vs. my normal 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

I actually bought the hybrid because I just started my new company. My previous commute was only 38 miles roundtrip - all stop and go so it would take me between 50 to 65 minutes each way. With the Titan, I was using about 3 gallons/day - wasn't really worried about gas mileage then as there weren't alot of cars that would have gotten significantly better city mileage. I had figured even if I cut my consumption then down to 1.5 gallon/day, that would have only saved me about 800/year. I wound up trading my titan almost as an even trade for the Civic Hybrid

Ironically, I negotiated another 5% to my salary to cover the longer commute time/costs, now I'm not sure if that will cover the extra gas and depreciation costs. Oh well, at least I have 2 years to decide if I want to use the relocation package (need to make sure my wife can get a job in the new area, plus houses are about 75% more than where I currently live).

Either way, I'm glad I got the Hybrid.
