JB: Haibun is a Japanese word meaning 'poetry prose'. And, I don't mean poetic prose as we know it in the west. It has developed from a diary form of writing which Matsuo Basho kept as he went on pilgrimage in Japan. His most famous one is known as ' The Narrow Road To The Far North '.
The price of gas is the main factor when calculating the standard mileage rate. For instance, in 2011, the IRS provided two standard mileage rates: one for the first six months of the year, and one for the second half of the year to reflect a spike in gas prices. The 2013 standard mileage rate was set at 56.5 cents a mile.
If you work multiple jobs, you can deduct the mileage you travel from one job to another, but not the miles you drive from your home to your workplace or vice versa. The mileage rate for business miles was 55.5 cents per mile in 2012 and 56.5 cents per mile in 2013.
