Where do you live? (city/state or if you don't to disclose your city, state is OK).
House rules say that we can't disclose our specific location, sorry. We are in Oregon, right outside of Portland. DH commutes to work. Mapquest says that it is 19 miles one way.
What transportation means do you and your spouse use to get to/from work?
We own an 89 Nissan Sentra (30+ mpg), a 94 Jeep Cherokee (25 mpg), and a 82 or an 84 Goldwing (think it gets 35ish mpg maybe). If the weather cooperates, he takes the Goldwing. If it is rainy and we don't have an activity, then he takes the Nissan. If we have an activity that is not local, then he takes the Jeep.
How far away are your workplaces? His workplace is 19 miles away. We homeschool and I don't have a job right now. I have considered getting a job at a local grocery store though. It is a mile away. I probably would drive because the boys would be home alone and if they needed me, I would want to get home fast.
How much time on average do you and your spouse spend to get to your jobs and back?
He takes about 35 to 45 minutes to get there or get home. It depends on traffic and such. Also, he has to travel a narrow, windy main road and if you get behind a log or rock truck, it adds another 5 to 10 min or so to your trip.
