SP → SP · SP-330 (Anhanguera)
Punching Piracicaba, SP, into the GPS for the trip back from Ribeirão Preto, SP, the dashboard once again shows the 225 km (140 miles) separating the two cities along SP-330 (Anhanguera) and estimates 2h 39m to wrap up the return. Ribeirão Preto, the capital nacional do agronegócio sucroalcooleiro, fades in the rear window while the vehicle picks up the homeward path toward Piracicaba, the polo sucroalcooleiro paulista e cidade-sede da Esalq/USP. Unlike the outbound leg, it pays to walk around the truck before pulling out — fuel level, tire pressure, dashboard alerts and load straps all deserve a fresh look, because there is less slack to absorb a surprise once fatigue has settled in. Topping off the tank costs roughly R$ 125,05 to cover the same 20.5 liters (5.4 gallons) consumed on the way out. The return reimbursement reaches R$ 247,50 at the R$ 1,10/km benchmark. Before pulling into the driveway, close out the Clara receipt with the final odometer reading: corporate finance accepts the digital file with no wet-ink signature required. For the US professional driving the 225 km (140 mi) between Ribeirão Preto and Piracicaba, reimbursement of R$ 247,50 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 Ribeirão Preto→Piracicaba corridor must show date, business purpose, and odometer readings.
