I doubled my drive time when I moved last summer, but I parked my truck and started driving my Escort.

A little over 30 min.
 
Around 53minutes on average. Dependent on traffic, if busy, can be an hour, if empty, is probably 42minutes, record is 29minutes (at 4 in the morning)

27.6miles. back roads entirely, except one brief half mile early on, many thirty zones, FTL.

You know there will be responses like this: my laptop is plugged in and sits on the table next to my bed, so my commute is zero - well, it involves sitting up in bed and reaching my arm out. Obviously I work at home (my main job).

So about 21-25 minutes? 😉

Depending on traffic, weather, and whether any farm animals are wandering the roads, anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes. I'd guess that it's about 20 miles or so.

what is a 'back road'?

Usually a service road or a country road. Something that's non-primary (nothing like a freeway, many times not even a highway... and possibly not even a paved road).
 
Varies depending on where my job is for the day. It can be from 9 miles to 84 miles one way. Somedays it might take me 5-6 hours on the road to get to the jobsite and back.
 
work @ home but I do drive out for 10 minutes every morning to drop off my wife... that's a commute isn't it ? 😀

Or in Kansas City just anything that is not the highway, also commonly referred to as side road.
 
6 minutes in the morning (im at work at 6am) and 10 - 12 on the way home, depending on when i get off (the closer to 3pm, the busier traffic is, but its a small town so it doesnt make a huge difference)
 
10 miles (20 minutes). Half highway, half city streets (leaving anywhere from 7:30am to 9am).

Nothing like when I commuted from Huntington Beach, though. ~100 miles each way, and I had to fill up my tank every other day.
 
30 miles

35-40 minutes in the mornings(3-4am)

50 - 90+ minutes in the evenings(3-4pm).
