Frank Lee, I thought of moving many times, but I am an engineer that has been job shopping since 1984. Since I've started doing that type of work I have commuted to pretty much every point on the compass to find work. But
I live in my home town and would rather commute than sell my house that is nearly paid off and move away from my family. So I commute. I just want a cheaper way to do it. I gave up driving a pick-up truck that allowed for good seating posture for a sedan. That doubled my mileage but increased my back problems too. So when I think of a 100+ mile a day commuter I am thinking of the total car's impact on my health and well being.
