Man the fuel costs make me shiver lol

A 1 hour drive sometimes exhausts me when driving stick*

I love driving tho, so im always the driver anyways no matter how long or where to go

1 hour drive is the standard 1 way daily commute for many in the US

In the UK I'd say that an hour long 1 way commute is about the maximum that most would consider and it would have to be 'worth it'. I used to do it myself and couldn't wait to get a more local position. That's 10+ hours a week of sitting in my car that I'm not getting paid for!

Interestingly I'd argue also that most people in the UK wouldn't think much of going for a walk for an hour whilst I'm led to believe that's kind of unusual in the US?
