Those rates are based on the corporate average fuel economy, which is 27-29 mpg? Even driving a truck will pay for gas with minimal for the mileage used on the vehicle.

It is definitely worth it. Especially if your being paid for the hours you drive + mileage. If you have a car with a decent amount of miles, then your not losing money to car depreciation. That's the biggest thing, how much would your car sell with an extra tens of thousands of miles. I bought my car at the very bottom of its used car sale value so no depreciation.

I take any chance i can get to travel. I got paid once to drive to the Boston area a couple hundred miles. I did it at 55mph on the highway and got 68mpg round trip. So i pocket 80% or more in mileage expenses.
