UK example here. During the course of my work career I have driven 700,000 miles, which is to the moon, back to the Earth, and most of the way back to the moon again. Or about 28 laps of the equator.
I live in a semi-rural village 65 miles from my place of work (a town about an hour away from central London) and visit clients scattered around the south west of England. Several of my colleagues live 30 to 40 miles from our main site, but far enough from me that we can't car-pool. This pattern of commuting is quite common in the UK for people living outside major cities with approx 3.7m workers having a commute of two hours [1] (including trains as well as cars).
By the way, I am really bored with the M3 motorway.
