> even if you’re buying premium, $.40/mile should more than cover your gas expenses. i know your mileage will vary, but at $3.50/gallon, it costs me about 12-13 cents in gasoline to drive a mile. If I bumped it up to premium and knocked a few mpg off, it might go up a nickel or dime, but at $.40/mile AND 93 octane, you’d have to get less than 9 mpg to be losing money on gasoline.

But read the rest, it doesn’t cover the wear and tear and other expenses. I agree that amount will cover the gasoline, but reading that part of the letter out of context makes it sound worse than it is.

On the other hand, I’d do the same as someone said above and throw this in the trash and never think twice about it. If you want to make a difference and help the company, you need to request a meeting. Make a phone call. If he denies the phone call or doesn’t want the meeting, then its not your problem any more, but the letter is kind of a pussy way out and it’s not going to cause any turmoil or change anyways.
