I had Catholic middle school games (not my parish) last night in the town that I live in. The distance, as listed on Arbiter, was 0 miles. Two "varsity" games, girls, then boys. Walked into the gym at 5:50 p.m. Home before my car warmed up. Eating dinner at 8:20 p.m. $82.00. Cash. As Jackie Gleason used to say, "How sweet it is".

Do you find the mileage on Arbiter is usually accurate for you? I've worked in two separate areas and it has been way off on both for me.

I believe that it goes from zip code to zip code. If your home is in the most distant part of your town, and the school is in the most distant part of it's town, your actual mileage will be longer than Arbiter's. If your home is in least distant part of your town, and the school is in the least distant part of it's town, your actual mileage will be shorter than Arbiter's. Mileages to most of the schools in my area have been pretty close. Close enough for tax purposes, according to my accounting firm, Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe.

But, it's relative. I live in a big area and my zip area is pretty large. It's within a few miles, but not spot on.
