average fuel reimbursement
Published by Peggy Emch. The IRS Standard Mileage Rate is the rate provided by the IRS for mileage reimbursement for business use of a personal vehicle. In 2017, the rate is 53.5 cents per mile. The rate is a guideline based on average gas prices and average wear and tear on a vehicle (gas reimbursement is a part of this rate). Some people want to know if they can reimburse less than the standard rate.
