Seriously, find a place closer to work or find a new job. 240 miles a day is ridiculous. That is 4+ hours of your life every day sitting in a freakin car vs enjoying life. That is also $34 a day in gas (at $4/gal) with you getting the 28 mpg in your acura. That is over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH IN GAS!
I went the opposite way, but not quite as long a commute. I had only a 45 mile daily commute and now I"m down to a 14 mile commute and I gained an hour of my life back every day and would never go back. I even had the opportunity to go back with a substantial raise and wouldn't do it. I'm much happier with my short commute and actually having a life.
