My commute is 60 miles each way - 120 miles per day.  About once or twice a week I drive my 87 Vanagon to work; I wish I could drive it every day but fuel prices and 20mpg make this prohibitive.  I am fixing up our 82 Vanagon Diesel for every day commuting this winter.  Right now it's getting the o-rings in the injector pump replaced, and getting a new heater cable.  Also we're hooking up the fog lights and my family thinks I ought to put a CD player in it.  I love driving the Vanagons in commute traffic because I can see; in my small car I feel overwhelmed by the big trucks and big SUVs.  I figure I might have a better chance of survival in my vans.  BTW, my Diesel is from Pennsylvania by way of Maine; made it all the way to California with its PO.
