Dear all,

Need some advise? i'm currently a new relief driver, my hirer is charging me $0.095 per kil for petrol? is it a reasonable rate? Thks

If its petrol, damn worth it man !!!
But if its diesel, depends on sonata or crown, day shift or night shift, etc

what taxiuncle point out plus below...

each TD driving pattern is different.

some TD take one hour lunch also don't want to off engine.
some like to Q at airport or taxi stand where no pax in sight.

both cases trip meter not running but engine running. who pay for the fuel?

some are F1 driver...first to shoot off when traffic light turn green.
