When I had a long commute (averaged 1:15 each way), I tried carpooling with a couple groups. It cost me so much additional time every day that I determined it wasn't worth the fuel savings. Inevitably we had to wait for people to show up and we had to spend time dropping people off when we got there and then rounding everyone up when we left. It ended up taking longer than just driving myself alone in my car. And if I rode my motorcycle, there was a HUGE cost in added time with a small savings in gas.
