If your explicitly agreed hours are 9 to 5 and your employer regularly requires you to work or do things connected to your employment outside normal working hours without extra compensation or at least time in lieu, the terms you are working under aren't good (that's not saying they're "unfair" as you may well not care about that, e.g. you might love doing more work or if the regular pay is stellar), and whether or not they give you any miles is almost completely irrelevant.
In today's world, the only 9 to 5 jobs left are those where you wear a uniform and get to say something like "Want fries with that?" Most professional and managerial positions require you to work lots of overtime without extra compensation (or time in lieu). In fact, the only professional jobs that I am aware of that have a 9 to 5 schedule anymore are those that start at 9 am UK time and end at 5 pm California time.
