7 miles there and 7 back 5 times a week. I pick a mate up on the way through who gives me 20 quid a week which covers the petrol cost. Takes between 20-40 mins each way depending on the shift im on and traffic.
I can go another way which is only 5 miles each way and takes 10 mins but then i wouldnt get the 20 quid then so i'd have to pay for my own petrol then

I do about 340 I think overall, not as much as you but I do it in a 1.8T that gets less than 30mpg
Thats why I commute in a 1.3 cdti returning 60mpg 
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Friday is all overtime for me so I don't mind the drive. I work nights too so I never see any traffic. It is nice A roads, Liverpool to Preston on the A6. I used to do M6 but it is sooo boring.

I go allover the globe Neo, rapidly losing faith in airlines though with all the recent incidents so I may look at that in the near future.

To be fair my Dad owns all of you.
He goes from Windsor to Chippenham on the M4 pretty much everyday.
The days he's not he either goes from Windsor to Exeter or to Ashby.
On a good week (4 days at the office and one at home/St. Albans) he does 650 miles.
5 days at the office is 750 miles.
4 days and an exeter trip/ashby trip is near on 1000 miles a week.
Then theres any personal mileage, which is all above board and paid for through tax etc etc, that accounts for prehaps 50-100 a week (Mum uses the car as well).
Oh, and all of that in a 1.5 Toyota PRIUS
Since he's owned it (February) it's just gone in for it's second servcie this morning, 20k.

That's got to be tiring, he doesn't own me however, my other half has the rights to me I'm afraid.
