No one when they die wish they worked longer hours or commuted more...that 90 miles is going to feel pretty long in bad weather, in a traffic jam or if it you put in a really long day. You should consider the impact on other aspects of your life, such as time with family & friends, hobbies, Saab maintenance, etc. Long stressful commutes also have a long term health impact.
Can you move closer? Even splitting the distance between your current location and the new job might make a big difference in your enjoyment of it.
I once had a job where I had a 1 hour commute each way, but it was mostly back roads without too much traffic. I got to drink my coffee and listen to the radio and it was actually pretty relaxing. The fact that it was a 6 month position only made it not so bad, but no way could I have planned to do that for years on end!
