Texas → Texas · Interstate 30 / Interstate 35W
What does it actually cost to drive from Fort Worth, Texas, to Houston, Texas? The hard numbers: 421 km (262 miles) of pavement primarily along Interstate 30 / Interstate 35W, 4h 42m behind the wheel, and roughly $35.24 in fuel alone — that is 38.3 liters (10.1 gallons) of regular unleaded at a 0.92 USD/liter benchmark. Anyone leaving Fort Worth, the fifth-largest city in Texas and historic livestock-trading center known as Cowtown, typically carries samples, signed proposals, or service equipment to deliver in Houston, the fourth-largest US city and energy capital of the world, and aims to be home the same evening. It is worth confirming whether the haul fits inside your daily hours-of-service window or whether an overnight at a midpoint hotel makes more sense. Applying the IRS standard mileage rate (2025) mileage rate of $0.43/km ($0.69/mile), the gross outbound reimbursement settles at $181.03. Attach the visit purpose, client name, and plate number to the Clara receipt so the journal entry lands directly in the business-travel expense account.
