Assumptions / Calculation Methods:

Monthly figures based on a 22 day work month (Not 30 days!)

Recovering 1 Hour of Overtime Each Week = Only 12 Minutes Per Day

Average of 14 MPG is a Conservative # based on Light-Duty Work Truck (F150), Most Loaded Work Vehicles Only Get 10 MPG

FACT: The average cost to operate a standard light duty vehicle is approximately $0.58/mile
(Re: National Transportation & Safety Board Reports)

FACT: The faster a vehicle is driven, the more fuel it uses.

According to Federal Trade Commission data…

For every 5 MPH driven above 60 MPH, the cost to operate a vehicle increases by $0.25 for every gallon consumed.

At an average rate of speed of 75 MPH,

your cost will increase by $0.75 per gallon.
