Well, I've had one or two jobs with that kind of commute mileage here in the UK. Hell, some of our contracts managers used to do almost a hundred miles each way to head office 4 days a week.
You chaps don't have a monopoly on the work commute you know. Tbh, if you have to travel more than 90 minutes each way, you should move or get a better job.

Having said all of that, if you work an office job, commuting is so last century... it's only jobsworth managers who are determined to prolong the stoneage; when everyone has decent internet connections, why can't I do my job from home any less efficiently than in an office that I have to spend almost an hour to get to each morning, burning precious time alive that I will never have refunded, not to mention the fuel to et there... instead of starting early because my computer is only in the next room at home?
Something is seriously wrong with the business model imo.
