Here is a sample text to send to your employer(s) when they want to avoid having to reimburse for mileage at the IRS rate, whether that including a flat stipend for gas or claiming it is part of your hourly rate.

MomBoss and DadBoss,
Mileage reimbursement actually isn’t a negotiable factor within this industry-the IRS determines the rate of mileage reimbursement based on gas prices and the wear it puts upon the car. Currently, the rate is [current IRS rate] cents per mile. If you’d like to do away with the mileage reimbursement, I’m happy to use a family vehicle so you can handle gas and car repairs privately.
