The most current rate is $0.505/mi.

I have seen this rate in other sites. I don't see how
anyone can operate a vehicle on that. I think the actual
cost were higher than that last year. They will probably be
under pressure to raise that figure before it is all done.

Geez! It was .52 last year.

And, Home Depot is probably STILL paying their travelling people .37 per
mile...and grumbling about it, too!
