It's easy to say 'ride a bike to work', 'walk', 'take public transport' but in reality it isn't like that.
Exactly, where I work, the ONLY way to get there is drive. And no don't tell me to get a job close to home because I like my job

Quit complaining we have fairly low petrol prices compared to other countries, and u could always catch public transport or walk
The majority of my driving is to and from uni, and I worked it out and realised if I drive to the train station and get the train and bus to uni it will cost me $8 and take an hour and a half. If I don't drive to the station and instead take 2 buses and 1 train it will cost $10 and take more than 2 hours. If I drive it will cost me $10 worth of fuel and 35 minutes. Even with petrol prices as high as they are it's still cheaper and a lot quicker and a lot more convinient to drive.

Where I live it's a 50 minute walk to the nearest shops and train station so thats not really an option.
