You can't add them up becasue they are not contiguous. It's like saying if every meal is a minute longer you are wasting certain number of days of you life on the dinning table.
15 minutes or however longer a day don't equal a few weeks of vacation a year.
If you work DT, you probably get 4 week plus 5 days of flex days on average. Plus 52 weekends and 12 stat holidays, there'll be 141 days in a year you don't commute to DT, more if you have Sunny Friday off. For about 224 days in a year you spend extra 15, 20 minutes more on the road, fine. But for those 141 odd days, the suburb will give you and your family far better amenities. It's a trade off but I think the pain of extra commutting is over-rated.
