Cannot emphasize enough the variability of traffic. 1.5 hours no traffic, I live 4 blocks off 50, but my record so far going down is about 2:45 and coming back is 4 hours. Luckily we have the “in normal traffic” clause, but I’ve certainly heard several interpretations of what “normal” is here.
You must drive like a maniac. I live in Fairfield and it takes me 55-60 minutes in no traffic. Another 30 minutes to Davis, 45 minutes to downtown Sacramento, and an 1:00-1:15 to Roseville or El Dorado Hills. I drive speed limit up to +10mph.
During rush hour 2 hours can be pretty normal to the airport. 2.5 hours is the norm coming home during rush (58 miles away).
