Need advice on commuting for work

Leaving a job

So the story is we're leaving Reno and moving to Vancouver WA. The reason we're moving is because the gf's ex husband has been offered a job he honestly shouldn't turn down in Portland OR and he wants to get a house in Vancouver. He has 3 kids with my gf and her and myself have 2 so we need to be able to live near each other so the kids can all go to school. So here's my issue: The company that I work for has a warehouse that I can transfer to in Lacey WA but my commute will be between 1.5-2 hours one way. I'm not sure if I should try and make this commute every day or maybe start looking for another job. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee right now and I'll most likely be filling my tank up twice a week which for me would be around $100 a tank. I really don't wanna spend $800 a month on gas so maybe trade in the Jeep for a much more practical car to make that trip every day. Or look into a Rideshare type deal but I doubt there are too many people commuting from Vancouver to Olympia every day. Any advice would help.
