    26.2 miles one way, the marathon drive. Takes me 29 minutes at night (I start between 2:00am and 4:30am on this bid) and around 35 for the return trip.

    I'm a Ford truck guy, have a 2014 F150 Ecoboost but it still doesn't get the greatest mileage. I ended up buying a 2014 Honda Civic Si for the commute and I get over 30mpg, which is cool. I ride the Harley when the weather cooperates.

    What does everyone drive?

    Been looking into an Ecoboost truck. What kind of mileage are you getting?

    Right around 18 mpg with mixed driving. I have gotten over 20 on trips when I stay out of the throttle. It's definitely the nicest vehicle I've ever owned.

    My 13 ecoboost gets around 16 in the city and maybe 20 on the interstate. Pulling our ski boat it gets 10 mpg

    23 miles but it takes an hour and 10 minutes in the morning living in a populated area. If I were to live closer to work, I probably wouldn't be alive for work the next morning!

    That's not too bad for a truck. They are crazy expensive tho, even used. Got a lot more saving to do.
