Now factor in the fact that you spend 15 hours a week driving - not working, jogging, cooking, singing, or making friends. Factor in the gas and maintenance for your car and the medical costs to you for your sedentary time and to society for your exhaust.

Few programmers are doing that.. you can rent 3 bedroom homes for under $4k within 20 minute driving distance of any job.

The super commuters tend to be lower paid workers.

"driving" could be "riding a bus" aka "working at the office".
