Petrol cost for gigs

The cost of fuel is becoming a deal breaker for me.

A couple of bands are turning down some long distance gigs because of the cost of getting there.

Locally I've noticed fewer cars on the roads this last 6 months.The government is killing the motoring golden goose.

I charge 40p/mile for fuel as part of booking out my band bus for anything out of the local area and find that just about covers it for a LWB Transit full of people and gear, although with the most recent price bumps I think I'm actually selling myself short now. In a car with just yourself I wouldn't expect it to cost anywhere near that, mind you.

It's good to keep a rough idea of how much milage you get from your car. For me 100 miles costs about £12. I just invoice for roughly what it costs.
Most of the time it's a case of a flat fee and I work out the true fee after fuel to help me decide if it's worth it.

It's only getting harder out there for musicians to make a living.
