Using:-
1 UK gallon = 1.2 US gallons
£1 = $1.92
Here in the UK, game fee is £40 (that's about $76.80).
The official pays his own travel for the first 100 miles round-trip. Standard fee of £0.23 a mile after that.
My average travel distance over the season (and I'm lucky as I live just outside London where we have a few teams) is probably about 80-90 miles per game.
Some of our officials who live in the North of the UK where there are fewer offcials and fewer teams might be on the road for 2-3 hours each way to cover a game.
My van does 30-35 miles to the UK gallon, gas prices in the UK currently about £5.40 a UK gallon, that's about $9.00 a US gallon.
Tomorrow, I'm scheduled to drive to the South of London to assess a crew down there. It is about a 100 mile round-trip. I'll get a £40 fee but likely spend £17 in gas to get there and back.
