My wife and I both have a 70-80 mi round trip commute. Between our two cars, we average about 41MPG commuting. Also, we both don't commute everyday, that said, we still manage to have put 50k miles on each of our cars in 3 years. California is not a small/compact place.
Given how little I currently commute (2x/week), I am actually considering trading in my diesel VW for an old vanagon -- to facilitate some camping trips and the like. It will mean less milage efficiency, but 2x/week commuting won't take a huge hit.
