That works out to 1.38 cents per mile which is a good price and a little below my internal strawman mile valuation (about 1.5 cents/mile). But after accounting for the effort involved I can't justify doing it to net 30 cents of value per transaction.

I know many out there are still buying at 1x, is there something I am missing? Do you just value miles at more than 1.5 cents? Or enjoy grinding more than I do?
