take your fit on a business trip. IRS rates for mileage is currently at 55 cents per mile. the fit needs about 7 cents of gas per mile. so if you exclude insurance and maintenance cost you can make $28.80 per hour with the fit.

 

That rate is supposed to include maintenance though; things like tire wear, insurance costs, oil changes, winshield fluids... ect.

Tires = 1 to 2 cents
Insurance = 3 cents to 6 cents (usually)
Consumables (oil/washer fluid) = 2 cents

Still, worst case you are only about 14 cents all in! lol

 

yah, whenever i take my FitS to the airport for customer visits i get a lot of change left over from the allowance given by our company.

 

Yeah, it's funny. I drove to LA for E3 and my company reimbursed me like $120 bucks. I went there and back on less than one tank of gas (so... 30 bucks!)

 

ty-that's awesome!

 

You guys are telling me. I've been temporarily filling in at another retail store 15 miles away from my home store for a few months. There and back equals $31.13, five times a week. I know how mileage reimbursement feels when your fit sips on gas.
