That wouldn't be fair... to be offered 240 miles @ $0.60 per mile, BUT you also have to run 120 miles empty to get it??? If you refuse to run it at a total of $0.40 per mile you have your hours reset???

Let's ALL stop pretending unloaded miles don't cost real money to run!!! That will bankrupt us!

Tonight's feature film ;)

Good morning and Happy Easter to everyone!
I'm not clear on what you meant to say. Are you saying good morning because it's Easter or Happy Easter because it's a good morning? And who is everyone you take about. Is it everyone in the whole wide world or everyone who reads here?
Too soon!
It's not even too soon, it's trying too hard. There is no "because" in the sentiments stated. The motivations for giving them are both irrelevant and obvious to anyone even casually familiar with social conventions, but even if you need to find out the "because" of the sentiments it does not change the meaning of those sentiments. Same holds true for the target of the sentiments, as the target of a writer is always solely limited that of a reader. :D

To clarify Turtle's very valid question. After deep consultation with a blue ribbon committee....the turn down "reset" threshold is based on all miles.
Thank you. That's good to know, and somewhat of a pleasant surprise.

But we're only half way there. we still don't know exactly what the threshold is. Is it $1.05 slash $0.60 and below, or is it $1.04 slash $0.59 and below?
