Why don't you work remotely at least a few days a week? The average cost/mile of operating a car is something like $0.50, so you're spending ~$30/day driving.
If you pay a tax rate of 30%, your salary is decreased by ~$9,700, just because you commute that far every day.
Then you have to factor in losing 2 hours of your life every day sitting in a car, the health risks of commuting[1], and your impact on the environment. You could also sleep an extra 2 hours in the morning!
If you have an open office plan, you probably also take a hit to productivity because you're not alone[2].
