Shopgal, AustinMom & Mrcomputer, thanks for all your advice. I'm getting a bit over 30mpg and petrol is about 3.25 here, so I've covered my fuel costs and then some. Won't make minimum wage Saturday but it is the price of tuition.
I love the cheatsheet idea Shopgal. That's why I've got highway maps on the back of my office door, although I think I'll do some of the more common locations onto an excel spreadsheet and have one here and one in the car, for when I'm called on the road.
And you're right Mrcomputer, time and distance also enter into the equation. The fact that my Saturday will be totally devoted to the one msc, I should have figured a comfortable price for my time...and I need to learn that if they don't like what I feel is a reasonable value for my time, wear and tear on my vehicle, etc. then I'm better off not taking the job.
Again, thanks so much for your advice and counsel.
