Absolutely. I work 2 jobs. My first job is 14mi west of my house. My second job is 10 east of my house. I put in a request to move my hours around so I could commute at least 6 days per week to both places.
I also put in a request to my day job to go from 5/8hour weeks to 4/10hour weeks. We'll see if any of it works.
I have been commuting more. Running errands, especially. My wife and two boys are doing the same.
To me, it's an attitued about conserving energy. Any energy.
