OK

12 gallons for 3 days roundtrip

That’s 4 gallons per day roundtrip

That’s 2 gallons per day one way

At $4.15/gal that’s $8.30 per day one way.

Minimum wage is at least $7.25 per hour.

So in a little more than one hour you’ve covered your trip to work. In a little more than two hours you’ve covered your round trip to and from work.

I understand that’s about 1/4 of an 8 hr day. It’s minimum wage and you’re driving a long way. Try moving closer to town and getting a better job. Minimum wage 3 days a week is meant for kids.

Maybe you need to move to another area.

Do what you need to do.

“Minimum wage is at least $7.25 per hour.” gross.

Now pay your SS, St.Tx, Fed. TX, Retirement, Union Dues and what's left? Now pay St. Sales Tx on every item you buy and don't forget your rent.
