Told me about a month ago he drove to Detroit from Wrentham on 7 gallons of gas. Since his job pays expense for use of vehicle he turned that into a $ making scheme

The mileage reimbursement doesn't take fuel economy into consideration. If I were a salesman or serviceman that had to use my own vehicle, I'd definitely go the hybrid route. A typical reimbursement is around 50 cents/mile of reimbursement for business driving. Even if you only did 150 miles per week for work, that's almost the monthly car payment and if you do that mileage in a Prius, it's only like $12 in fuel.

I'd love to take a deal like that.
