Excel Quickie: Gas-hole

My previous job paid for my gas.  But i used my car for things other than work, like driving to my other job, or driving to interviews for new jobs.  So the gas that they paid for was kind of a bonus, and i wanted to know exactly how much it added to my total compensation package.  So... gas bonus = total spent on gas - cost of gas used for legitimate business travel ...and... cost of gas used for legitimate business travel = miles * price of gas / MPG of my Cavalier LS For my job, i traveled to and from various clients' houses all day.  So i threw together this little chart as a quick reference for the exact mileage getting from one place to another.

Flying

I have friends that i would like to visit. It is important to know the difference between the amount of money i spend on gas to get to the Austin and San Antonio airports, so that this price can be factored into the total cost of tickets. Fun trips are (hopefully) fun. I flew my mother and three little sisters here for their Spring Break. Someday, i will fly my brothers here, and we will rage.
