It's roughly this ...

Therefore the take-home pay is Pay/Hour * 7 Hours (instead of Pay/Hour * 8 Hours)
Compare that with a lower paying job closer to home where it might take 15 minutes to pay for the cost of using the vehicle that day (or using other transportation).
Therefore the take-home pay is Pay/hour * 7.75 Hours (instead of Pay/Hour * 8 Hours)
And which one comes up with the higher total?
