Which is 6.5 days per year at 24 hours, but of course we could equate that to working days at 8 hours which is approx 20 days per year
Which over a working life time of 47 years is 940 working days per year at an average cost of £500 per day(with no increase for ease like) is approximately £500k in total, but assuming an inflation rate of 5% then you are looking at around £1.8Million over a working lifetime or 940 working days of sitting on your ass and watching TV.
Your point was?

I'd join M3 at 4A, so would miss Fleet services. Or could go A30. Looks like M3 to Sunbury then across via Richmond is a shorter route, but that would probably be worse for traffic.
But that would still mean having to go round the M25 as far as the M40 junction (from which West Ruislip is only about a mile).
edit: DOH! Just noticed you've found something closer - Congrats!

One way to avoid the North Circ and Hanger Lane is to park on Pope's Lane (free) and walk to Acton Town and get the tube a few stops to Park Royal.

You can avoid the M4. M3 in to London past the M25 is very very fast. The A316 is a bit slow, but OK. Go up Syon Lane to the A4 and take a back road to Ealing.

My gf does Ickenham to Ealing everyday so A40 to Perivale then Perivale to Ealing around 8.5miles, can take her anything upto 1.5hrs traffic is horrible, on agood day more like 50mins, it just takes one accident or something and the traffic is screwed. I wouldn't even think about trying to get upto Hanger Lane just come off at Perivale.

Drive to an outlying station and get the train in.
I think that journey would be more dependable in duration and you get 25 minutes of standing up exercise per day.

It would be more than an hour.
Look at train stations around the area from which you can get to the Central Line and where you may be able to park.
