What I did is took the waste solvent gallons plus pump fuel gallons and divide that by miles driven.
Example:
500 miles driven.
6 gallons waste solvent plus 6 gallons pump fuel equals 12 gallons total.
500miles / 12 gallons total fuel = 41.6 mpg.
Cost of waste solvent is 0 at this point and time. I pick it up for free while doing paint delivery's to the Auto Body Shop.
Cost of pump fuel is $2.59
6 gallons pump fuel * $2.59 = $15.54 cost for 6 gallons pump fuel.
$15.54 / 12 gallons pump and waste solvent = $1.29 gallon based on 6 pump and 6 waste solvent.
$1.29 / 500 miles driven =.0026 cents per mile.
I think this is right???
