Well, I landed a field gig. Started a few weeks ago.

Company pays at the gov rate, currently about 56 cents/mile. I can typically do about 33 mpg if I pay the slightest bit of attention to driving frugally. I plan on installing a FICO switch and maybe investing in a mpguino or scan guage. I think with a bit of effort, I can get those numbers over 35 mpg. Most travel will be highway.

The tech I have been working with has been raking up the miles pretty fast. Over 500/wk is not uncommon. It will probably drop off a little as I will be taking some of the load off him.

Guess I will find out what sort of a money maker it is soon.
