"For each of these miles, you waste about 6 minutes in the round trip..."

This little line here has a huge effect on the computation, because it assumes you are only traveling at 20 mph on your commute. So all this only applies if you are in a heavy traffic area or commuting to a city center.



Some days I wish my average speed was 20mph on my commute. My commute is ~17 miles and it sometimes takes an hour or more.


My commute on bike is 13 and it rarely takes an hour :)
