That's true, but its still is better to get paid when the only reason to be traveling somewhere is for the job.
I've worked jobs where trips to the client were not paid for nor was mileage.
I've worked jobs where the mileage was paid, but not wages for the travel hours.
I've worked jobs where the mileage wasn't paid, but the wages for the hours were.
I've worked jobs where the wage was on differential rate and the company required a rental car (so we would rent a saab or volvo).
But to really answer mcrews' question, You have to figure in not just the cost of gas, but a % of the annual insurance, maintenance and resale depreciation due to advancing the mileage, for your vehicle.
