58.5 cents was for the last half of 2008. For 2009 it's 0.55 I believe.

You are right, Conejo. It went down this year.

Thank you all! May 23, 2009

There seem to be general consensus that after certain distance from home (say, about 150 miles) charging for a hotel is reasonable. Or, I can charge travel time per hour - this will give me enough to cover the cost of the hotel. But either way, if I accept such an assignment, I have to spend at least one night in a hotel, and I should be paid accordingly.

Thank you for your support. Now I feel much more confident to include a stay in a hotel when quoting on jobs like this.
