What is Mega Commuting?
According to the US Census Bureau it is driving more than 90 minutes and 50 miles one-way to work, (or whatever you do everyday.)
Well, now we have 586,805 of them.
Not to be confused with Extreme Commuting which is 90 minutes: 2,241,915 of these.
or
Long Distance Commuting which is 50 miles: 1,713,931 of these.
US Census Report
Quick estimate on fuel costs for a Long Distance chump:
$3.50 a gallon x (100 miles a day/25 MPG) = $14 Per Day
Approximately 250 working days a year X $14 per day = $3500 a year
For Mega Commuters, add 3 hours on to an 8 hour day. 11 hour day!
Damn!
The American Dream!
