      Orangegenie have an xls spreadsheet that works out the value of the receipt needed to cover the mileage I claim.

      I claim 280 miles per week and their sheet says I need a receipt for £34, now I drive a rather thirsty 2 litre Civic type-R and struggle to get through that much fuel in week and often have to put my foot down more than usual to get the value of the receipt up!

      With their calculation I need to keep under 31.8 mpg which is difficult enough on a motorway journey in my car so anyone with a more economical car will really struggle.

      Who comes up with these figures?... I'm sure Gordon will make it easier for me sometime soon!

      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          A mileage log is fine on its own, receipts are only needed for a company to reclaim VAT, this will be an extra revenue stream for umbrellas/composites as they will keep this reclaimed VAT, or claims it helps keep their costs down etc!
