Approx 1 hour will cover my monthly fuel bill. It's great having a local gig (my first one in 3 years!).

At 0.40 a mile I get nearly all of this back in expense tax saving, but at 180 miles a day, I'm back on the old 0.25 rate before you know it, so on a normal month after the high rate is done, I'm probably about £250 out of pocket, less than a day's net income though.

But if I add in the travel time, it gets horrendous. I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but if I:
- add up hours/month travelling to & from work
- add it to hours worked
- divide hours travelling by total, and multiply by 20, I get (a) days/month spent travelling.
- divide travel & accommodation cost by net income, and multiply by 20, I get (b) days/month working for expenses.
(a) is 5, and (b) is 4.5. Total 9.5 out of 20.

21 minutes 36 seconds. Which is roughly how long the journey is.
12 hours was the worst I can think of. When adding in accomodation, it was around 24 hours.
