Tamaulipas → Tamaulipas · Autopista 40D Reynosa-Monterrey
Before turning the key for Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, on the homeward run from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, do a quick inventory sweep of onboard equipment: proposal binder, undelivered promotional items, and visitor badge should each go into a separate compartment so nothing slides into the footwell during a sharp brake. Autopista 40D Reynosa-Monterrey accepts the 245 km (152 miles) of the return in roughly 2h 43m. Pulling out of Reynosa (the frontera con McAllen y polo maquilador del noreste fronterizo), the road eventually puts the driver back in front of the urban skyline of Nuevo Laredo (the principal puerto fronterizo de comercio terrestre con Estados Unidos). Refueling sits near MXN 493.68 for the same 20.4 liters (5.4 gallons) at the EIA national average benchmark. Return reimbursement, calculated against MXN 6.50/km, returns MXN 1592.50 into the driver's wallet. Snap the closing odometer with the phone camera and attach it directly to the Clara receipt — internal controls accept photographic evidence without a supplementary spreadsheet. For the US professional driving the 245 km (152 mi) between Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo, reimbursement of MXN 1592.50 stays non-taxable to the employee when the employer follows an accountable plan under Treas. Reg. §1.62-2 and reimburses at or below the IRS standard mileage rate. US employers generally reimburse at the IRS standard mileage rate so the payment stays non-taxable to the employee under Pub. 463. Keep the IRS-compliant expense report (Form 1040 Schedule C, line 9) alongside the fuel receipt from any EIA-tracked retail station network pump used along the leg; Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examiners pull contemporaneous mileage logs first when auditing Schedule C unreimbursed business expenses, and the Reynosa→Nuevo Laredo corridor must show date, business purpose, and odometer readings.
