Longest daily commute in the US = 186mi
http://biz.yahoo.com/bizj/060412/1271956.html?.v=1
186mi/trip = 372mi/day = 1860mi/week = 96720mi/yr
Since 1989, that extrapolates to around 1.6 million miles commuted.
7hr commute/day = 35hrs commuting/week
No job is THAT good. No home is THAT nice to put up with that.

Cisco engineer gets prize for longest commute
Wednesday April 12, 1:36 pm ET
Mariposa resident Dave Given makes a 186-mile drive -- each way -- five days a week to his job in San Jose.
The electrical engineer has been doing that commute since 1989, spending seven hours every day getting to and from work at Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO - News).
Given is the "ultimate road warrior," according to Midas Inc. (NYSE:MDS - News) and drove home with its first-place prize in the nationwide search for "America's Longest Commute." Givens out-drove thousands of other entrants to take home $10,000 in gas money and a range of maintenance services and products.
"I have a great job and my family loves the ranch where we live," Givens said. "So this is the only solution."
On his long trek he said he listens to the radio, keeps his eyes on the road and drinks "a lot of coffee."
