What a run actually costs you

Fuel, wear and time — including the miles you do not get paid for. Use it to price, or ignore it.

Why this exists

A runner who has never worked out that a twelve-mile round trip for a six-dollar fee loses money is a runner who quits in three weeks and tells people why. So the rate-card editor will show you what a trip costs you to do.

The miles nobody pays for

You are paid for the leg from the shop to the door. What you actually drive is home to shop, shop to door, and then onward or home again. On a short urban run the unpaid legs are most of the miles.

That is why delivery workers systematically underprice: the miles you are not paid for are invisible until you total the tank at the end of the week. The cost estimate counts the whole trip by default, out and back.

If you batch several drops into one journey, you can lower that assumption — which is exactly the efficiency batching exists to create.

Fuel prices

Fuel is taken from a small per-country table rather than fetched live, and you can override it. A pump price is a fact about the world, so where we do not have one we say so rather than inventing a number.
