Houston tied with Dallas for No. 2, with both cities averaging $174,314 in costs for commuting over a lifetime.

HOUSTON — (HOUSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL) - Houston has the second-most expensive commute for workers in the country over a lifetime.

That's according to a study from EducatedDriver.org that measured how much workers will spend on vehicle operating costs and how many miles commuters will drive in a lifetime.

After driving an estimated 274,500 miles, expect to spend $166,896 getting to and from the office. However, that figure only applies to sedans.
