    Is it feasible (as in, reasonably doable) to use a Aerolite/Phoenix 103 to do a 240 mi. commute every day?

    An ultralight engine is probably going to be nowhere near as reliable or fuel efficient as a car engine. Not to mention, the weather is not always going to cooperate with you. 240 miles is probably a 5 hour nerve racking flight and something of an
    adventure in an of itself.

    Possible? Yes. Practical? No.
