Just keep in mind that you need to consider total cost--not just fuel cost. It's tempting to say, "Well, I'm being paid X per mile, and it only costs me Y per mile in fuel, so I'm making a profit of X-Y." Just remember you also have to factor in things like routine maintenance costs, increased wear and tear, increased likelihood of an accident, etc.
