I actually do a 90 mile (each way) commute right now on the NJ Turnpike. I get on exit 4 and off exit 14 -- 90 miles in total from Central Philly to Jersey City -- Its not that bad (knock on wood). My previous commute was about 20 miles each way. My 99 Viggen is piling on the miles. Eventually we will move to NJ area, but we haven't as of yet. So I can tell you its a fast commute at the right hours and Firday afternoon is the worst commute so you will need to factor that.
I would do it if it doesn't cramp your lifestyle too much. My trip over 90 similar miles takes me anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2 hours door to door and could take 3 hrs each way with a heavy traffic situation. If you work long hours it may take a toll on you. If you have somewhat flexible hours I would certainly do it. Working from home once a week would help as well.
