I commuted 40 miles each way for four years living in Vermont. Not by choice as I got the job after moving there when my wife got hers first. As housing options are limited in Vermont due to restrictive development laws, we had to pick a place that is reasonable for my wife to commute. It ended up that my commute was much longer when I got the job. It sucked esp during the brutal winters! Never again. Now I'm happy with an easy 10 mile commute.
